Meet Tara Zrinski

A Proven Leader for Northampton County

I have spent my life fighting for the people of Northampton County—as an advocate, a public servant, and a leader committed to building a better future for all. As your County Controller, I have worked tirelessly to ensure transparency, fiscal responsibility, and efficiency in our government. I modernized financial oversight, strengthened county operations, and hired and advanced staff to make our government work smarter and more effectively for taxpayers.

Before serving as Controller, I was honored to be elected At-Large to Northampton County Council, where I championed environmental initiatives, supported working families, and fought for responsible government policies. Throughout my career, I have been a coalition builder—bringing together diverse voices to create meaningful change and ensure that Northampton County remains a place where all residents can thrive.

Beyond public office, I have been deeply engaged in shaping policies that protect our environment, promote social justice, and empower working families. I have served on multiple boards, including:

• Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority
• Lehigh Valley Planning Commission
• Wildlands Conservancy
• Northampton County Conservation Districts Board
• Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation Board

My commitment to advocacy runs deep. As a local coordinator for Food & Water Watch, I fought for clean water, sustainable agriculture, and climate justice. I have been an outspoken speaker and organizer, rallying for women’s rights, workers’ rights, human rights, and environmental justice. Whether standing with labor unions, fighting for fair wages, or protecting our natural resources, I have always stood on the side of the people.

As an educator, activist, and mother, I understand the struggles that working families face every day. I know that strong leadership requires not just policy expertise, but also a deep sense of responsibility and vision for the future. That’s why I’m running for Northampton County Executive—to continue the work of ensuring our county is fiscally responsible, economically strong, and environmentally sustainable for generations to come.

Join me in this fight. Together, we can build a Northampton County that works for everyone.
