Having the rare opportunity to design and implement a new public school district in Oklahoma City, I recruited, interviewed and recommended for the hiring hundreds.

I learned early on the validity of, if you think hiring the experienced is costly try hiring the amateur. That’s why I recommend electing Jim Bobeck for judge. He’s worked as a legislator, a lawyer and a judge: These are rare qualifications that make him immensely qualified for Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.

It was a given that the conversion of a three-commissioner form of county government, most notably in Luzerne County, would be challenging. Jim Bobeck was a prime figure in the organization of council. Recognized by his elected peers on the county council, Jim was elected as the first chairperson where his legal skills, people, organizational and implementation skills became the foundation for implementing policies and procedures.

Respectively, I’m requesting your support for this proven public servant. He has walked the walk and will bring experience and integrity to the Luzerne County court system.
