Blair County will elect two new Common Pleas Court judges this year.

I have been practicing law in Blair County for decades. We need a judge with the right credentials.

First, diverse experience in the practice of law. Second, considerable courtroom experience. Third, the ability to make reasoned decisions. Fourth, strong communication and writing skills to address litigants and attorneys in the courtroom and to write orders and opinions. Fifth, common sense/judicial temperament.

Attorney John Sisto meets these criteria. His decades of legal experience, combined with his frequent appearances in court, drafting pleadings, writing briefs, arguing, effectively dealing with opposing counsel, make him a great choice for judge.

He is running for the right reasons. He has no hidden agenda and is not running for a pay raise. He is “courtroom ready” and Blair County needs him as one of our next judges.
