Congratulations to Maura Palumbi, who received the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police, Brady Paul Lodge 54, Pennsylvania State Police. Many of our townships are protected by our state troopers, and it is only logical to assume that they are looking to have a strong, experienced and ethical candidate elected to serve as judge in the Court of Common Pleas in Butler County.

Voters would do well to consider the unanimous endorsement of Maura Palumbi when casting their ballots for this important office. Few of us have seen judicial candidates in court, while virtually all of these troopers have spent time in court rooms. Their endorsement is meaningful in choosing our next county judge. It should be part of every voter’s decision-making process.
