No Democrats running in Westmoreland County primaries

No Democratic candidates have filed for Westmoreland County row offices this year, marking a decline for the party that once held significant influence in the area. This absence contrasts with the Republican Party, which has multiple incumbents facing challenges. Republican incumbents, including Register of Wills Jon Wian and Coroner Tim Carson, are preparing for the May primary. Wian faces competition from Katie Pecarchik and Kimberly Horrell for the register of wills position. Democrats, now a minority in the county, will not participate in the primaries for county offices. They plan to focus on state court seats and local races instead, acknowledging the challenges in the current political landscape.
