County Electors Support LLA Members for Office

The fall 2007 elections found several members of the Lycoming Law Association seeking public office.  Most prominently, Judge Dudley Anderson sought retention to a second ten year term.  Although there was a statewide campaign to deny retention to incumbent judges, Judge Anderson was easily retained by 72% of county voters.  The Judge received the endorsement of the LLA - 98% of those responding voted in favor of the retention of Judge Anderson.

Also running in a countywide election, but unopposed as a result of having won both parties' nominations, was District Attorney candidate Eric Linhardt.  Linhardt was the top vote-getter in the county with 18515 votes. He will replace LLA member Michael Dinges in January of 2008.

Two members of the Association were re-elected to school boards.  Thomas Hess was returned to the East Lycoming Board as region 1 representative.  He has served on the Board since 2003. 

John Smay was re-elected to the Muncy School Board from Muncy Borough.  He is currently serving as vice-president of the Board.

In South Williamsport, Ben Landon  was retained as a member of the South Williamsport Borough Council.  He was appointed to the seat in 2004, and was successful in his first election.

Best wishes to those members of the Association who have chosen to serve the public as elected officials.
