Dear Editor,

Time is quickly approaching for voters to make decisions for the best candidate to be the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. That choice for Ohio is Sharon Kennedy.

Justice Kennedy began her career as a police officer in Hamilton County, where she learned to follow the law. Kennedy enforced state and local motor vehicle laws, as well as, arresting adult and juvenile offenders for misdemeanor and felony crimes. Not only did Kennedy do her part to have people comply with the law, she also developed and implemented crime prevention programs, organized neighborhood watch meetings and was involved in school drug programs for grades K-12. Justice Kennedy did her part to try and prevent crime.

As a practicing attorney, Sharon Kennedy served the needs of families and the less fortunate. In 2009, as a trial court judge Kennedy brought together officeholders and business leaders to work together to steer the county through tough economic times and provided a blueprint for fiscal responsibility. Imagine- an elected official- solving real problems-finding real solutions.

This is only a brief overview of the experience and involvement of Justice Kennedy’s impressive career.

Justice Kennedy, as Chief Justice, will lead the Ohio Supreme Court in the direction that will benefit all of Ohio- in the direction of the Constitution. Vote Kennedy.
