Experience Matters on Bench
Bob Umholtz, attorney (and Chief Public Defender in Geauga County since 1990), is running as an independent in the upcoming Nov. 6 election to become the judge of Geauga County’s Court of Common Pleas.
Bob believes that a judge should be absolutely impartial and uninfluenced by political parties. He has more experience in Geauga County courtrooms than the two other candidates combined. He has worked diligently to defend the rights of people in Geauga County’s Common Pleas Court for nearly 30 years.
Bob Umholtz has served his country with honor and distinction in the intelligence branch of the United States Air Force. He has faithfully served his family and raised two sons, who are now also serving our nation. One is a Major in the Air Force and one is with the Secret Service.
Bob has tirelessly served every community he has been a part of. He has been a friend to many and won the respect of his peers in the legal profession as well as the people who have worked for him in the public defender’s office.
He has earned the respect of law enforcement officers and judges, and also his clients.
Bob Umholtz conducts himself with dignity and integrity inside Geauga County courtrooms and anywhere he goes. He fully understands the laws of this country and the rights to which we are all entitled. Bob has full knowledge of the intricacies of being in a courtroom and of conducting court in a dignified and orderly manner.
Experience is what matters. For Bob Umholtz to become the next judge in the Geauga County Court of Common Pleas is a logical extension of a longtime and distinguished career serving the people of Geauga County.
Thank you for voting for the most experienced and honorable man: Bob Umholtz, Independent.
