2 vie for county judge seat
A public defender and prosecutor, both Republicans, are competing for Butler County Common Pleas Court judge seat in the upcoming primary.
Assistant Public Defender Maura Palumbi and Assistant District Attorney Terri Schultz are seeking the nomination to run in the general election to replace Judge William Shaffer, who retired in January 2022 and now serves as a senior judge.
Both are cross-filed on the Republican and Democratic ballots in the May 16 primary.
