Local attorney Chase McClister has been elected as the newest judge who will sit on the bench of the Armstrong County Court of Common Pleas.
McClister won over the former District Attorney Scott Andreassi who took the chance on running for Judge rather than continuing as the county's litigator. McClister had 7,734 votes (56.21%) to Andreassi's 6013 votes (43.70%).
The race between McClister and Andreassi was considered to be a close race, and McClister was surprised by his lead.
McClister said the voters tuned into his message and it resulted in his win.
McClister said he looks forward to working with President Judge James Panchik beginning in January.
