Incumbent Magisterial District Judge James Saieva Jr. has announced he will seek reelection. He has served in that capacity for the past five years for the Canonsburg area. He ran for office in 2019 after retiring from the Canonsburg Police Department after more than twenty-five years as a police officer. He also worked for both the Hanover Township and Houston Borough Police Departments. In his announcement, Saieva points to instituting a campaign promise to change office hours to accommodate citizens when scheduling their hearings and extending office hours on Mondays until 6 p.m. He is a graduate of Canon-McMillan High School and holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Edinboro University. He also is a graduate of the Municipal Police Academy at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.  Saieva is a Republican but plans to cross-file.
