Mahanoy Township Chief of Police Announces Intent to Seek Candidacy for Magisterial District Judge

On Monday, Mahanoy Township Chief of Police, Brandon Alexander, of Frackville announced his intent to seek the candidacy for Magisterial District Judge for District Court 21-2-01, Frackville.

Serving in law enforcement for over a decade and working for the community, Chief Alexander believes he has the common sense, humility, open-mindedness, firmness, patience as well as the experience to serve the people within the district. 

"It is has always been my duty and responsibility to ensure that people within the community I serve are treated with compassion, fairness, and with respect. The court should always treat people fairly, just and without prejudice. If elected, I will continue to treat people in this manner just like I've done serving the community as the Chief of Police." Alexander has many years of experience in the courtroom and feels this experience has prepared him for this position.

Chief Alexander is well-known for being an active member of the community for his years of volunteer coaching for the boys and girls basketball teams for North Schuylkill Jr. Spartans, football for the Frackville Mountaineers and Shenandoah Jr. Blue Devils, and is also a member of the Elks Lodge in Frackville. When not working, coaching, or attending events for his children, Chief Alexander can be found helping neighbors within his community. 

Chief Alexander is a family man married to Christina Alexander and they have four children, Maliyah, Elijah, Ezrah, and Jasiah.

Chief Alexander attended Wingate University in North Carolina and later went on to earn his ACT 120 Certification at Lackawanna College to pursue his career in Law Enforcement.  He has also received the endorsement of the Fraternal of Police Lodge 25.
