I have had the privilege of knowing Matt McCune since he was a young man. Over the years, I have witnessed him grow into a thoughtful, principled and community-minded attorney — someone whose integrity has never wavered.

Matt’s deep roots in Butler, his extensive legal experience and his unwavering respect for the rule of law make him uniquely qualified to serve as our next judge on the Butler County Court of Common Pleas. He brings not only a sharp legal mind but also a genuine concern for the people and families of this community.

I have no doubt that Matt will serve with fairness, humility, and the steady and respectful temperament we need on the bench. I strongly support his candidacy and encourage others to join me in voting for Matt on May 20.
