Democrat Mark Zinman, the managing partner of public accounting firm Zinman & Company, is on the ballot. Zinman is campaigning on business stability and his legal expertise that he will bring to the position.

“As a Magisterial District Judge, I will be the administrator for Bucks County, handling criminal cases that are turned over to the district court,” Zinman said.

He is running against Republican incumbent Michael ‘Mick’ Petrucci, who has held the position since 2015. Petrucci is campaigning on his handling of crime and management of the opioid crisis in Bucks County as reasons for his reelection.
