Intends to cross-file but identifies as GOP candidate

Jennifer N. Foose recently announced her candidacy for Magisterial District Judge in District 21-3-04.

Foose, a Senior Deputy District Attorney with 18 years of experience, emphasized her commitment to serving the citizens of Schuylkill County with honor, integrity, and fair application of the law.

“My qualifications and experience make me the best-qualified candidate to step into the role of your next District Judge,” Foose says in her announcement.

A Schuylkill County native, Foose graduated from Pine Grove Area High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Penn State University. She received her law degree from Stetson University College of Law and has practiced law in Pennsylvania since 2005.

Foose highlights her extensive experience in the courtroom, handling cases from summary traffic offenses to first-degree murder. She underscores her work with local law enforcement and State Police. In 2015, she received the Children’s Hero Award for her work prosecuting sexual assault offenses.

Foose touts her involvement in implementing a Wellness Treatment Court for individuals with mental health concerns, with a special track for veterans.

A lifelong resident of Schuylkill County, Foose is active in her community, involved with the Blue Mountain PTO, Pine Grove Fish and Game, HH&L Fire Company, and the NRA.

Foose intends to cross-file as both a Republican and a Democrat, but labels herself as a Republican candidate.
