I also served for several years as its acting Risk Manager. Because I had a degree in English Literature, I was hired to primarily handle all appellate work, both state and federal. In my years with the City, I handled hundreds of appeals, start to finish, in many appellate districts, the Ohio Supreme Court, the Sixth Circuit Federal Court, and I have filed in the U. S. Supreme Court. Additionally, I handled hearings and appeals for boards and commissions, worked in human relations, negotiated union contracts and advised the mayor and members of counsel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) Why are you running for this particular court seat?<\/strong><br \/>I have spent over 20 years as an appellate judge. I am serving, once again, as the Presiding Judge of this court. I love appellate work, I love serving the people of the Seventh District, and I would be honored to continue to serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office:&nbsp;For Judge of the Seventh District Court of Appeals Term Beginning 2\/10\/2021 Age:&nbsp;60 Residence:&nbsp;Youngstown Email:&nbsp; Website:&nbsp; Social Media:&nbsp; Occupation:&nbsp;Judge, Seventh District Court of Appeals Education:&nbsp;B.A. from Youngstown State University, J.D.
