Question 3
Why are you running for this particular court seat?
I am running for re-election because this is the greatest way that I can serve Coshocton County. Every decision I make can have an impact on the very place where I live, work, and raise a family. I believe that I’ve been part of something bigger than I expected by being part of a great team that continues to make Coshocton County safer and better for everyone.
Also, being a judge is how I personally protect the rule of law, and our Constitution for Coshocton County. It’s about the fairness and justice that makes America great. It’s about treating the little cases and the big cases with the same attention and enthusiasm. I love the law, the courthouse, and Coshocton County.
Finally, I want to make sure that our courthouse remains a beacon of stability for Coshocton County. No matter what difficulties our county or our country face, I want people to see the courthouse that sits in the center of town as a sign that America’s basic principles of democracy are still alive and well.
