(1) List your judicial experience (courts and years)<\/strong>
Judge-Ohio Fifth District Court of Appeals: 1991-present Judge-Canton Municipal Court: 1988-1990 (sat by special assignment on the Ohio Supreme Court on several occasions)<\/p>\n

(2) What about your non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?<\/strong>
Prior to taking the bench, I served as a prosecuting attorney in the Canton Law Department for 11 years. I also maintained a private law practice for 11 years. I was a legal intern in the Stark County Prosecutor’s Office, Juvenile Division, while in law school.<\/p>\n

(3) Why are you running for this particular court seat?<\/strong>
As an appellate court judge, I have timely and efficiently written thousands of opinions and participated in over 10,000 decisions for the Ohio Fifth District Court of Appeals. I have consistently received high evaluations of my judicial performance from my local lawyers’ bar association. I presently serve as the presiding judge of my court. I have been privileged to sit by special assignment on the Ohio Supreme Court on several occasions.<\/p>\n

If re-elected, I intend to continue to ensure all cases coming before me are timely and impartially decided for the approximately 1.4 million people living within the court’s 15 county district.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
