| Reasons for running | As my record clearly reflects, I have always had a strong commitment to public service.

| Positions on the issues | Clearly, the prevailing issue regarding the Mahoning County Courts is court consolidation. I will continue to work with the Mahoning County Bar Association, the Ohio Supreme Court, court consultants and other elected officials to resolve this issue while ensuring that the Court operates in an efficient and effective manner at all times. Ultimately, the decision on this issue must be made by the Ohio Legislature and their constituents. |
