Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to endorse candidate Matthew Buehler for Kosciusko County Circuit Court judge.

I have known Matthew (Matt-Mateo) for years, as I was one of his former high school teachers, and our connection has continued over the years.

Matthew is honest, respectful and hardworking. As an attorney and prosecutor, he is fair in his decision-making, committed to his job, trustworthy and professional. Two of his many outstanding attributes are his ability to adapt quickly to different situations and how well he relates to all people of different educational and socioeconomic levels.

Matthew holds himself to a high level of integrity, and this will be seeable in his court of justice. His commitment to law and the legal system is what drives him to work hard and inspires him to want to be a judge. He is willing to take on the extra hours and responsibilities that come with working in the judicial branch, and he will not shy away from holding himself and others accountable. He has the necessary education and communication skills to work with all parties involved in a case.

On May 7, 2024, please cast your vote for Matthew Buehler. He will follow the law, be fair and reasonable and treat all people with dignity. I know Matthew, and he will work hard for the people of Kosciusko County.
