3 lawyers vie to become Northampton Co. judge in primary election

Three candidates want to become Northampton County judge, filling a court vacancy that will occur in January when Judge Anthony Beltrami retires after serving 20 years.

Three lawyers, Democrats Jeremy Clark and Robert Eyer and Republican James Fuller, are running for the position in the May 20 primary.

Because it is a judicial contest, candidates can appear on both the Democratic and Republican ballots. Clark and Eyer will appear on the Democratic ballot while the pair will join Fuller on the Republican ballot.

In campaign materials, Eyer has pointed out that he is “the only lifelong Democrat in the race,” an apparent reference to Clark who earlier was registered as an independent. Clark changed his registration to Democrat in 2020 after being hired as an assistant city solicitor for Easton.
