Wilson announces re-election bid for district judge
Monongahela-based Magisterial District Judge Mark Wilson is announcing his bid for re-election.
Wilson has served the district, which includes Carroll Township, Donora, New Eagle and Monongahela, since 2006.
In seeking his fourth term, Wilson said he has served the residents of his district with compassion and integrity and will continue to do so for another term.
“Experience in this position is critical in these times, and I will continue to be the constant to protect the residents of our district from the serious criminal offenders who appear before me. My office has adapted to all COVID restrictions and mandates from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and is readily available to adjudicate any case presented either in person or via electronic communications,” Wilson said. “Our latest audit, which was completed just last month, was approved with no findings or recommendations as they have been since my service began in 2006. I feel a sense of obligation to all the residents of our district to continue to serve them compassionately and patiently.”
Prior to being elected to his first term in 2005, Wilson was employed as a full-time police officer for the city of Monongahela Police Department, where he also patrolled the borough of New Eagle from 1992 until 2005. He also worked part time for the borough of Donora and Carroll Township police departments from 1990 until 1992 after beginning his career in public service as a deputy, and then elected constable for the borough of Donora.
“My experience from serving the residents of this district has given me the knowledge and resolve to continue to serve in these uncertain and ever evolving times,” he said.
