    Should you be elected, what are three specific areas youd like to change, address, improve or further research,
    and how specifically would you go about it?:

    My goals for the court include making appellate justice more readily accessible to everyone, while tackling
    and revising the courts failed management policies and practices. We must improve transparency in court
    operations, including budgeting, resource management, and case management. The 11
    th
    District Court of Appeals
    should be the best of the 12 appellate courts in the state, not one of the worst.

    We must attempt to establish local rules that allow more people to appeal a case to the court of appeals
    and handle the appeal themselves, so they wont incur excessive attorneys fees.

    We must post the courts budget and case management records on the courts web site for access by
    everyone. We must improve the web site, one of the worst in the state, so the public can access and meaningfully
    review all publicly available information from the court. The court belongs to the public, not just the lawyers who
    appear before the court.

    We must substantially reduce the time it takes for cases to wind their way through the court on the way to
    a final decision. The public is entitled to timely handling of their appeals. This can be accomplished by better
    managing available resources.

    We must substantially reduce the percentage of our districts appellate decisions that are reversed by the
    Ohio Supreme Court. This can be accomplished by properly applying the law rather than attempting to rewrite
    the law.

    Whether for past accomplishments or future goals, why should voters elect you?

    I have 31 years of legal experience exclusively devoted to trials and appeals. My experience handling
    cases in trial courts and appeals courts in 40 states and 10 foreign countries provides broader depth of experience
    than any candidate ever seeking election to the 11
    th
    District Court of Appeals. The scope of litigation and
    appellate matters I have handled during my career is also broader than that of any other candidate, and includes
    civil cases and criminal cases in state and federal courts, complex civil cases (including class actions) in state and
    federal courts, complex federal agency investigations, and pro bono legal services for the disadvantaged.
    I have the added advantage of managing a comprehensive legal department budget at The Sherwin
    Williams Company, where I worked for 26 years before retiring, ultimately managing the Companys domestic
    general litigation and appeals. I also have other valuable business management experience, all of which
    imminently adds to my qualifications.
    I believe in a conservative interpretation of the Constitution, particularly respecting the Second
    Amendment. My successful record as a married father of six children with strong family values, a community
    leader, and a three term elected public official also add to my qualifications.
    I am seeking the opportunity to apply for the benefit of everyone in our district my core family and
    community values, strong work ethic, broad legal experience, sound business experience, and vision for a better
    court.
    Thank you.
