Judge Cheryl Peck Yakopec is the only choice for our judge. She has 29 years’ experience and a proven record of fairness. She is not sidetracked by side jobs or a private lucrative law practice, nor is she seeking endorsements from special interest groups. She is not related to any police officer. Additionally, she is not allowed to fundraise or collect money for any organization or police fundraiser; this would show bias and favoritism to the police. She conducts every hearing with an open mind to all sides. She abides by the ethical canons to perform her job and does not let any special interests or relationships sway her rulings.

Her opponent has a brother who is a police chief, and her opponent also was married to a police chief. She actively fundraises for law-enforcement agencies and their charities. She has endorsements from special interest groups; she received one for which her brother is the vice president. She claims to fair, firm and impartial. Can a candidate with these relationships be fair and unbiased in a case involving the police?

Vote for the proven fair, honest, and impeccable Judge Cheryl Peck Yakopec.
