Marshall, who you’d want on the bench

The political landscape today in Centre County and the United States as a whole is far from typical. And while many people may consider this an “off year” for elections, that could not be further from the truth.

This November we will elect another county judge. It is essential that we elect a person who not only has the skills and experience, but also the temperament to serve in this important position. Brian Marshall is that person.

A partner in Miller, Kistler & Campbell, Brian in the only candidate with specialized training relevant to serving as a judge. He is trained in collaborative law and third-party mediation, and is also a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and former Certified Public Accountant. He understands personal finance and is the most qualified candidate to handle family law cases, which take up much of our judges’ time.

Brian is the current president of the Centre County Bar Association. He is a leader in his profession and known among both his clients and fellow attorneys for his honesty, knowledge, empathy, and commitment to fairness. He is the type of person you would want on the bench if you ever have to appear before a judge.

Please vote for Brian Marshall for Centre County Judge on Nov. 7.

Barbara Palmer, State College
