Both parties nominate Palumbi for Common Pleas judge
An assistant public defender won both party nominations to run for Butler County Common Pleas Court judge in the general election in November, according to results from Tuesday’s primary.
Maura Palumbi won the Republican and Democratic party nominations over Assistant District Attorney Terri Schultz, who also cross-filed for both nominations, for the judge’s seat, according to incomplete and unofficial results.
With all 89 precincts reporting, Palumbi received 12,436 votes on the Republican ballot and 5,927 votes on the Democratic ballot, and Schultz received 6,327 votes on the Republican ballot and 4,162 votes on the Democratic ballot, according to unofficial results.
“I’ve spent the past five months working incredibly hard on this campaign,” Palumbi said. “Through door knocking and attending community events, I’ve met a countless number of community members, and I’m honored that voters recognized I have the experience, ethics, integrity and judicial temperament necessary of a judge.
