Rich Goldinger is running in the May 18 primary election for Butler County Common Pleas judge.

Goldinger is a well-educated, experienced and professional attorney who serves as the Butler County district attorney.

Goldinger has managed the DA’s office of assistant district attorneys and staff in the most efficient manner possible. He has been active in the community, and has fostered a highly successful program to educate, enforce and prosecute individuals convicted of drug violations.

A common pleas judge is responsible for fair and equitable enforcement of the cases brought before him or her. Rich has a history of high ethical standards, and this would carry over to his position as common pleas judge.

On May 18, if you want an unbiased individual sitting on the bench in the Butler County Courthouse, vote for Rich Goldinger. I will!

Gerald “Jerry” Patterson,

Butler Township
