Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

We are writing to ask for your considerat­ion of attorney Gina Force for judge.

Gina first became our counsel when we found ourselves unexpected­ly involved in a child guardiansh­ip case in 2016. We had inquired with an Indiana child advocacy agency for their experience with legal counselors. They were very familiar with Attorney Force and stated she was involved with a number of family cases there. We learned that she was a parents advocate with Indiana’s Children and Youth Services.

We feel blessed to have access to Gina’s expertise and continued guidance in what has been a complicate­d legal process. Gina welcomed us as a family, but most importantl­y made the three of us confident that she had the child’s best interests at heart.

Attorney Force has worked in the Indiana County District Attorney’s office since 2016, prosecutin­g drug, violent criminal and homicide cases. She was promoted to first assistant district attorney, and continues to serve in that role today.

We feel with both her concentrat­ion in family law in her private practice, as well as her experience as first assistant district attorney, she is a uniquely qualified candidate for judge. Gina has told us that it has always been her dream to be able to serve as judge.

Again, we ask for your considerat­ion of attorney Gina Force for judge. Please vote in the May 18 primary.

— Beth and Tom Strittmatt­er
