Donze wins vote for judge at county GOP meeting

The court serves Birmingham, Pocopson, Newlin, Pennsbury, Kennett and East Marlborough townships and Kennett Square Borough.
Donze’s opponents were deputy contsable, David Cox, Media attorney, Lorraine Ramunno, and former police officer, Sean Rafferty.
After the first round of voting, Cox and Ramunno did not receive enough votes and were eliminated. In a head-to-head competition, Donze beat Rafferty with more than 55 percent of the vote. In commenting on the results, Donze stated, ”I am honored by the confidence the committee persons have shown in me and look forward to meeting as many people as I can in our district while campaigning for the primary election of both parties.”
Donze will now run in the Republican primary and will crossfile as a candidate in the Democratic primary this coming May.
