Kathryn Lehman - Running for Judge

Kathryn Lehman's path from social worker to judicial candidate reveals a professional journey shaped by genuine concern for community welfare and justice. After witnessing courtroom proceedings while advocating for troubled teens, Lehman realized her calling extended beyond social work into the legal realm—prompting her to attend law school at night while maintaining her full-time position.This unique foundation gives Lehman something increasingly rare in our judicial system: perspective from both sides of the courtroom. Having spent five years as a public defender before transitioning to nearly nine years in the district attorney's office, she brings balanced insight to her candidacy for Berks County Common Pleas Judge. As supervisor of the drug task force, she has prosecuted some of the county's most dangerous offenders, including securing convictions in the largest fentanyl seizure in county history.What distinguishes Lehman's candidacy is her unwavering commitment to applying the law fairly while understanding the human elements behind each case. "When you are doing the right thing, you can't worry about those things," she notes when discussing difficult decisions, emphasizing that integrity must guide judicial action even when decisions might be unpopular. This philosophy has earned her bipartisan endorsements from prominent figures across the political spectrum, including District Attorney John Adams and State Representative Eric Weaknecht.The primary election on May 20th presents Berks County voters with an opportunity to elect someone uniquely qualified for the bench—the only candidate with extensive trial experience for what is fundamentally a trial judge position. Consider supporting Kathryn Lehman, whose blend of legal expertise, practical courtroom experience, and compassionate understanding offers the balanced approach our judicial system needs. ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real people, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.
