Tonight, I was getting a chicken salad at Salavatore's and attending the Easton High School Swimming and Diving booster club meeting. I happened to run into Jackie Taschner, a candidate for District Judge. By the way, the chicken salad was very good. If elected, she will serve the communities of Tatamy, Palmer, and Forks Townships.
According to the Northampton County web site, Jackie is a Northampton County assistant district attorney and a domestic violence prosecutor. In her press release, she stated "As an attorney, I have handled all types of cases that come before a magisterial district judge: I have litigated civil and landlord-tenant cases, handled summary trials, and represented the commonwealth and defendants at preliminary hearings at various times throughout my career".
I had a chance to chat with Jackie about her qualifications for District Judge. She stated "her experience as law clerk, assistant public defender, and several years in private practice has developed her sense of fairness and honed her ability to remain neutral when rending judicial decisions".
She promised to answer a couple of questions about candidacy and I will post her responses in a later blog.
We are going to continue asking candidates questions about their qualifications and why they are running for office.
Get Involved! Every Voice Counts!

Jackie Taschner was the attorney that handled my divorce and she was excellent. She can count on my vote, I am thrilled that someone like her is running for District Judge. We can all trust that Jackie will be fair and truly excellent.
You are lucky to have two excellent candidates seeking this position. They both get along so well together I would not be surprised if they started putting up each other's signs.
