I encourage Hamilton County voters to elect Ron Powers to the position of Session Court judge in the county election on Aug. 2.
I have known Ron Powers for more than 18 years, and he is a man of integrity who is devoted to his family, church, and community. Ron conducts himself in a professional manner in all walks of life. He is patient and analytical. He does not make hasty or uninformed decisions on important issues.
Today, many of those who appear in court are repeat offenders who often become habitual criminals. I know that with his broad legal experience, his commitment to doing what is right, and his genuine concern for people, Ron Powers will make it his goal to encourage those who appear before him in court to seek restoration and recovery and to stop the cycle of criminal activity. In civil litigation cases, he will be strong in his mediation and fair in his decisions.
Ron Powers is the strongest and most promising candidate for Hamilton County Sessions Court judge in the Aug. 2 election.
