DEAR EDITOR:

Living in Cortland, I see a lot of political signs for Thomas Campbell for judge. Truthfully, I didn’t know a lot about Judge Campbell until I read about a ruling he made in a court case in August of last year.

The case involved a 19-year-old driver who was on his phone, driving a new Audi, and rear-ended a line of stopped traffic. He caused a four-car accident, killing the driver of the vehicle he struck. Somehow, Judge Campbell thought the appropriate punishment for this vehicular homicide was two weeks in jail and a one-year license suspension. I wonder if the widow and children of the deceased agreed.

Judge Campbell’s campaign signs say “experience matters,” but I don’t think the good people of Trumbull County should have to “experience” such poor judgment in the future. I’m clearly not voting for Mr. Campbell.
