Delco DA Stollsteimer (D) Enters Race for Court of Common Pleas
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer has thrown his hat in the ring to run for a spot on the Court of Common Pleas bench.
Stollsteimer, along with attorney Mike Power, received the Delaware County Democratic Committee’s endorsement Saturday as judicial candidates.
Stollsteimer, 61, of Haverford, was reelected to his second term as DA in 2023. He ran for state attorney general in 2024. He was defeated in the Democratic primary by Eugene DePasquale, the former auditor general. DePasquale went on to lose to Republican Dave Sunday.
As district attorney, Stollsteimer formed the Chester Partnership for Safe Neighborhoods that helped reduce the homicide rate. He also pushed the county council to take control of the county jail and created diversionary programs for low-level offenders, helping to reduce the number of inmates.
