Scarnati to Ask Governor to Appoint
Hauser to Second Judge Position Early
Chris Hauser has won both the Republican and Democratic primaries for the second judge position in McKean County, according to unofficial results and, depending on what Governor Tom Corbett decides, he could be taking the bench before January.
Prior to the election Senator Joe Scarnati said if the same person won the Republican and Democratic primaries he would recommend that person take over as soon as possible.
He had not seen the election results until we talked to him earlier today.
"There's a strain on the bench up there," Scarnati said, "I don't know what the governor's feelings are going to be about it but I certainly made that commitment and I'll write myself a note now."
Corbett is currently recovering at home in Shaler Township from back surgery he had Monday, but told reporters this morning he is already back to work. He expects to be back in Harrisburg this coming Monday.
Hauser got 47 percent of the vote on the Republican side and 38 percent of the Democratic votes in Tuesday's primary election.
