Marcinkiewicz retires to run for office

February 17, 2021 Off By Eric O'Brien

Monday evening, WPXI-TV (11) reporter Amy Marcinkiewicz announced on Facebook that she was retiring from the station after 25 years but left no reason as to why. The post has since been taken down, but the Beaver County Times’ Scott Tady caught up with Marcinkiewicz to find she is running for public office – specifically the office of District Judge 50-3-06 in Evans City, Butler County.

She told Tady that her career in journalism has helped prepare her for this role, “The role of a magisterial district judge are things I already do as a journalist. I research, learn the law, interact with people, listen and get to the true story in any situation always remaining completely unbiased.”
