Owen succeeded Judge Jay Young, and was first elected in November 2005 but began his appointment a month ear- lier. “I have enjoyed serving my community over the past 11 years and hope my constitu- ents appreciate my efforts. I have always done my best to be fair and honest with all per- sons who appear in my court- room and will continue to do so,” Owen wrote in his re- election statement. “It is dif- ficult to gauge what effect my comments have on litigants, but hopefully somewhere along the way they have some positive impacts on those ap- pearing in front of me.” Owen admitted to being disheartened after realizing the full extent of local drug issues, but is committed to working with fellow Dis- trict Magisterial Judge Gary DeComo and advocating the Drugs Kill Dreams cam- paign. “I believe it is my duty to do what I can to be a positive role model for all residents of Armstrong County,” Owen continued. A practicing lawyer since 1973, Owen was an assistant district attorney, public de- fender and county and munic- ipal solicitor. He is currently a member of the Criminal Jus- tice Advisory Board and has developed community service providers to offer an alterna- tive disposition for juveniles charged with summary crimi- nal offenses. Since fellow District Mag- isterial Judge Samuel Gold- strohm’s retirement, Owen has also served in an admin- istrative capacity in the fourth district. Outside of the courtroom, Owen is a member of the Kit- tanning Hose Company #4 fire police – where he was an ac- tive firefighter for more than 20 years -, a member of the Grace Presbyterian Church choir for more than 25 years as well as on other commit- tees and part of the Kittanning Rotary and Armstrong County Hockey Hall of Fame. In addition to his courtroom serving Kittanning Borough, the second district also in- cludes Applewold Borough, Parker City, West Kittanning Borough, and the townships of Bradys Bend, East Frank- lin, Hovey, Perry, Rayburn, Sugarcreek, Washington and West Franklin. Owen will run on both the Democratic and Republican tickets this May. A lifelong community resi- dent, Judge Owen currently resides in Kittanning Borough with his wife, Mindy. He is the father of two and grandfa- ther of five.
