A Bethlehem attorney announced he’s running for district judge in the Bethlehem area.
Nick Englesson seeks office in the 03-2-11 seat vacated by Patricia Romig-Passaro, who resigned in October 2015. He’s a lifelong Bethlehem resident.
“I come from humble beginnings. My family ran a diner and grocery store on the South Side when I was a kid,” said Englesson in a news release issued Monday.
Englesson has been an attorney for 35 years. Most recently he was a special judicial master in Northampton County. He had to resign the post in order to run for district judge.
He served as a state and county prosecutor during a 17-year period.
“I have earned a reputation in the courts for being level-headed, fair-minded, and respectful of all people who come before me as a judicial special master and I pledge to do the same for the people in my district,” he said in the news release.
The district with the office on Stefko Boulevard covers northeast Bethlehem, Freemansburg and the eastern half of the South Side, including the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem.
