All the Democratic candidates for county office appeared at a candidate’s forum in Jim Thorpe this evening to make a pitch for votes. What an impressive group of people they were. The positions open this year include Prothonotary, Sheriff, District Attorney, Recorder of Deeds, Controller, County Commissioner, and Coroner.
Three people are running for two commissioner seats and five people are running to succeed the current coroner, Bruce Nalesnik, who is retiring from that position.
I came away from the meeting impressed with the caliber of all of the candidates. Everyone is well-qualified, intelligent, and reasonable. At a time when so many Tea Party kooks and ideological misfits are running for office, it is refreshing to know that in Carbon County, at least, the Democratic Party is fielding candidates whom voters can support with confidence and pride.
