Letter to the editor: We know Yakopec and she knows us

I have voted for Judge Cheryl Peck Yakopec every election. I met her when she ran for district judge the first time. She impressed me with her ability to listen to people, empathize with their problems and help them if she could. She has always had an open-door policy, and, any time I have needed help, she has come to my aid.

Yakopec pointed me in the right direction to help get housing for my sister, she helped my neighbor whose dog was being harassed, and she has notarized many documents for me free of charge.

This is the kind of judge we want to keep, someone who knows who we are, someone we know. Yakopec has proven herself to be honest, fair, sympathetic and available to her constituents. My vote will be for Yakopec, and yours should be, too.
