Magisterial District Judge Todd Woodin has announced his candidacy for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Warren and Forest Counties. 

Woodin seeks to fill the vacancy of the current President Judge Maureen Skerda. Skerda recently announced her retirement effective January, 2026. 

Judge Woodin is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University and Widener University School of Law. 

In 2015, Woodin was elected as Magisterial District Judge for the western half of Warren County, where he counties to serve. 

In this position, Judge Woodin has presided over and disposed of over 19,000 cases. This includes criminal, traffic, non-traffic, and civil matters. 

Additionally, Judge Woodin has periodically presided over the Warren County (Drug & Alcohol) Treatment Court. 

“I am a son of Warren County, and both sides of my family have lived in Warren County for at least four generations. I am proud of the quality and quantity of community service I have provided throughout my rewarding professional career. My candidacy for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas comes in small part as a result of my qualifications but in larger part because of my desire to continue serving my home community in a more significant and more challenging way. Citizens of Warren and Forest Counties deserve to have a qualified and experienced Judge serving in this most important level of our court system. My experience as a trial lawyer and general practitioner provides me with a broad basis of legal knowledge to perform the multi-faceted role of Common Pleas Judge. My experience as a Magisterial District Judge equips me to perform this job from day one always with a deep understanding of our local interests.”

Judge Woodin says he hopes to capture both the Democratic and Republican ballots in the May 20 primary election.
