The Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police (Lodge 27), which represents over 1,300 law enforcement members, today announced its support for the retention of Judges Margaret Amoroso, Dominic Pileggi, and Anthony Scanlon to the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas.
“The Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police is pleased to unanimously endorse the retention of Judges Amoroso, Pileggi, and Scanlon to the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County,” said Lodge 27 President Chris Eiserman. “Over the past ten years, they have served our community with fairness, integrity and compassion while also demonstrating support for our police and their families. They deserve to be retained on the Court of Common Pleas and we urge residents to join us in supporting them in the November election.”
In Pennsylvania, after ten years of service, voters decide whether sitting judges have earned the right to continue their service through a process known as judicial retention. As retention judges, the candidates do not have opponents on the ballot and are not running as Republicans or Democrats. The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts states that “retention is specifically designed to keep judges out of the political fray… The intent is to provide a fair and non-partisan way for the public to judge its judges.”
“We greatly appreciate having the support of our local law enforcement community as we seek to continue serving Delaware County residents,” said Judge Amoroso.
“I have always had great respect for the men and women who work to keep our communities safe and it means a lot to have their backing,” said Judge Pileggi.
“Over the course of the past decade, each of us has demonstrated a record of independence and fairness on the Court of Common Pleas and we appreciate the FOP’s support,” said Judge Scanlon.
Amoroso, Pileggi, and Scanlon have also received bipartisan backing in their retention efforts, including support from both the Delaware County Democratic Party and the Delaware County Republican Party.
