On May 18, voters in the areas of Penn Township, Manor and Trafford will be electing a new district judge in Magisterial District 10-2-03. The person we elect to this position should have the highest moral character and utmost integrity, and be someone with a clear record of service to the community. I can think of no one more qualified in this race than Kris Cardiff.

I have known Cardiff for many years. He has been a caring and respected Trafford councilman for many years, including five years as council president. He has firsthand knowledge of municipal laws, codes and ordinances. He is a careful listener and always has shown genuine caring for the families in our community. He works regularly with law enforcement to help keep our neighborhoods safe.

Cardiff is a public servant who has always worked to ensure the well-being of our community. He is the kind of selfless person we want to serve as district judge, and he has my vote. I encourage my neighbors and friends to vote for Kris Cardiff on May 18.
