Schmitt will do the right thing as judge

I am writing this letter in support of Lou Schmitt to be the next judge of the Blair County Court of Common Pleas.

Lou and I have known each other for over 45 years. First as competitors in junior high basketball, then as teammates and classmates at AAHS. Lou is a homegrown, lifelong resident of Blair County. He grew up in Altoona on Dutch Hill and after graduating from AAHS, he graduated from Saint Francis University and then University of New Hampshire School of Law. He worked his way through law school by driving a taxi. He came back to Altoona after law school to raise his family and practice law. In 2018, he became our State Legislator for the 79th District and has fought hard for his constituents.

Lou has always done the right thing. Please vote for Lou.

Cory Gehret, P.E.
