Pavlock Won't Seek Judge Post

McKean County District Attorney John Pavlock says he won't be seeking the appointment for judge in the Court of Common Pleas, but he's not ruling out running in the next primary election. He says that since Judge John Cleland was nominated to fill a seat on the state Superior Court, he has been asked repeatedly if he would seek the appointment. He said he feels it would be improper to walk away from programs he started when he was elected district attorney while there's still work to do. However, he is considering running in the primary election in the spring. He says he is consulting with family, friends and voters regarding his decision.
