I express my support and wish the best of luck to Rich Goldinger in his election to judge. I have had the pleasure to know Rich for more than 20 years, and have been impressed with him as a person and with his record of what he has achieved for the people of Butler County.

Rich had a successful career in private practice for 12 years before transitioning to district attorney for the people of Butler for the past 14 years. As DA, Rich prosecuted drug dealers, murderers and drunk drivers. He has been able to protect and advance the interests of the community. He has the experience and background to successfully execute his position and, just as importantly, the mental fortitude to make the tough decisions necessary to be an effective judge.

I wish Rich the best of luck in this election. I support him wholeheartedly, and would encourage those who are unsure of whom to support to familiarize yourself with Rich and what he stands for.

Michael Fiorina,

Center Township
