Judges need to uphold community values

1 min read

I hope we all take our elections seriously.

I do and I exercise due diligence before casting my votes.

I have found that the decisions and actions of President Judge Elizabeth Doyle are not what we should have in Blair County.

We are a law-and-order community and expect judges to uphold our values by holding lawbreakers fully accountable for the harm they cause.

On too many occasions, Doyle has been lenient toward criminals and dismissive of law enforcement efforts to keep citizens safe.

She might claim that COVID concerns motivated her actions, but of all people, a judge should know that her oath of office requires that she, at all times, respect our God-given rights and dispense full justice to those who have violated those rights.

I'm a nay on Judge Doyle's retention.
