Zrinski's (D) Norco executive election win fueled by well-funded campaign

Tara Zrinski rode a well-funded campaign to a convincing victory in the Nov. 4 election for Northampton County executive over Republican Tom Giovanni, according to their most recent campaign finance reports.

Zrinski’s campaign spent about $115,000 on the general election compared to $44,578 for Giovanni.

Including the campaign for her primary victory in May over Amy Cozze, Zrinski spent more than $200,000 on her successful bid. She also received a total of about $108,000 for in-kind services from groups for the primary and general elections. Giovanni, a county commissioner who was unopposed in the GOP primary, received $30,389 of in-kind services.

Zrinski, the county controller, tallied nearly 60% of the vote to become the first woman elected Northampton County executive. The position opened when Democratic incumbent Lamont McClure decided against seeking a third term to run instead for the 7th Congressional District in 2026.
