Nicole Ziccarelli
Westmoreland county District Attorney
A Strong Advocate for Westmoreland County
Nicole Ziccarelli, an attorney from Lower Burrell, is running for Westmoreland County District Attorney because the safety of our communities and our children are her paramount concern. She wants to put her fifteen years of experience as an attorney and as a member of our community to work for the people of Westmoreland County in order to create safe communities, seek justice on behalf of victims of crime, and build trust between law enforcement and those they protect and serve.
As District Attorney, Nicole will strengthen intelligence gathering and information sharing between state, county, and local law enforcement. She will establish direct communication with the residents in Westmoreland County through community outreach, community engagement, and across a myriad of social media platforms. Nicole will modernize the Office of District Attorney while making it accessible and more transparent.
Nicole believes in the pursuit of justice and protection of victims. Nicole will pursue an aggressive agenda on the fight against drugs, expand the Veterans Court, and be tough on crime. At the same time, Nicole supports criminal justice and juvenile reform efforts. Nicole understands the need to reduce the cost of the office of District Attorney on the taxpayer and will pursue all state and federal grant opportunities.
Nicole proudly supports our men and women in blue. At a time in our nation’s history when our law enforcement officers are under constant attack, Nicole will help bridge the gap in our communities and build stronger trust and respect. Her goal is for Westmoreland County to have the most elite and fully funded law enforcement agencies in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
A graduate of Penn State University and Penn State Dickinson School of Law, Nicole has clerked for a former Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice, Westmoreland County Common Pleas Judge Christian Scherer, the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office, and has practiced as a defense attorney at the law firm of Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote, P.C. Nicole currently operates her own law practice in New Kensington and also serves as guardian ad litem for minor children in need.
