McGlaughlin is the right choice

In November, we once again get the opportunity to cast our vote and shape our local government. This year, we need to vote for a new judge in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, a selection that should bypass routine political decision-making and instead be driven by doing what is best for the county and the residents of that county, regardless of political affiliation.

We need to do the right thing and cast our vote for the candidate with the requisite experience and qualifications needed to effectively execute the office of judge: someone with jury trial experience, business and family law experience, expertise in property disputes, wills and estates and many other areas of the law that will be brought in front of a judge in this county. That candidate is Ron McGlaughlin, the absolute right choice for Centre County.

Stephen Maynor,

State College
