Former judge supports Gamble

Dear Editor: I am supporting Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John Gamble for the top job of Prosecutor in the coming election. John has 30 years of service in that office with the last 20 in his current position. I personally witnessed John successfully prosecute many cases including the most serious criminal offenses. He is an expert in finding his way around a courtroom. In contrast, his opponent does not even practice criminal law and has run a very negative campaign. Unfortunately, your papers have once again participated in giving widespread publicity to obvious political ...

Another endorsement for Gamble

Keep Yellow Creek Township moving forward

Former Judge supports Gamble

To the editor: Having spent 23 years handling serious crimes as a common pleas judge in Columbiana County and 10 years as county prosecuting attorney before that I know the experience and dedication it takes to be county prosecutor.

Gamble appeared in front of me weekly when I was a judge so I saw his dedication and tenacity, the kind we need as our prosecutor. Vote for John Gamble for county prosecutor this November. This is not a partisan matter. It is ...
