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.
