Paula Painter, candidate for Butler County Prothonotary, has 18-plus years on-the-job training under Glenna Walters who is retiring.

Her opponent has an ad proclaiming 30 years experience in the court system. She is an independent contractor as a court stenographer.

Why is she trying to mislead the public about her qualifications?

This position has nothing to do with party affiliation but everything to do with the most competent person for the job. I urge you to vote for Paula Painter for prothonotary.
