Bob Altice is the clear choice! He has integrity, honesty, and he is not afraid to make the tough calls.
all of the candidates except Goff have a Marion County/Indpls perspective.
A Judge on Court of Appeals panels has to follow applicable
precedent from both US Supreme Court and Indiana Supreme Court
cases, regardless of their own personal opinions, and also be prepared
to work with other Judges in a non-partisan manner.
