Letter to the editor: We need Girardi as district judge

This coming election, our choice for district judge is clear: Michael Girardi is the best candidate. The past several years have shown us that a magisterial district is best served when the judge has a strong understanding and experience in the law. And Girardi has that ability, from practicing it in the courtroom and teaching it in the classroom as an adjunct law professor, helping students learn and apply the law.

In an ever-changing world, where we see criminals like the violent drug trafficker in Pittsburgh being set loose back on society by a judge who has no legal experience or background, it is more important now than ever to have Girardi serve as our district judge, for the safety and security of our communities.

I strongly encourage everyone to vote for Michael Girardi, the most qualified candidate with the legal background and experience that we need.
