Approach to the law
| “ | I am running for Judge because now more than ever we need Judges who understand the complexities of the times we live in, the difficulties that people face in their lives and the struggles that affect families especially our children. People look to the judicial system for fair and equitable justice. Berks County expects a firm judge, but they also expect a fair judge. My life-experiences will allow me to handle this incredible responsibility, with unwavering ethics and strict respect for the laws of our land.[7] - Eleni Dimitriou Geishauser[8] | ” |
