The Northampton Co. executive candidates and where they stand on 5 key issues
The Northampton County executive candidates – Republican Tom Giovanni and Democrat Tara Zrinski – are vying to succeed the current county executive.
Giovanni says it’s time for a change in county leadership to bring more transparency and accountability to the office.
Zrinski, who is endorsed by McClure and acknowledged his successes with the county, said her administration would be different from his. “I’m a different person. I have a different focus,” she said on the Sept. 22 broadcast of WFMZ-TV’s “Business Matters.”
The county executive next year will earn $105,000, up from the current $85,000. The executive oversees 2,000 county employees and a budget of $502 million. In his eight years, McClure did not raise the real estate tax and reduced it once. (He is a 7th Congressional District candidate in 2026.)
