Joseph Buser ’76 has announced that he is seeking re-election as a Republican candidate for the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney.
His declaration of candidacy was filed Jan. 12 with the Secretary of State, according to a report by The Paper of Montgomery County. Buser’s initial term as prosecutor began in 1991.
