Editor:

Jeff Welbaum, candidate for the Court of Appeals, is my husband of 31 years. We raised two boys who are adults and working overseas. You probably have learned about Jeff’s diverse legal career of almost 35 years. I want you to know more about the kind of person he is.

In addition to being a devoted and loving husband and father, Jeff cares for our communities. Many community groups have given Jeff awards to demonstrate their appreciation. Jeff has been a Rotarian since 1986 and served as President of the Troy Rotary Club. He was a Big Brother for ten years mentoring one boy from age 8 to 18, and one year received the Big Brother of the year award for that service. Jeff served as Chairman of the Administrative Board and also Pastor-Parish Relations Committee of our Church. I encourage you to go to his website, www.JeffWelbaum.com, to see some of his accomplishments.

Jeff is more than a former judge, prosecuting attorney, practicing attorney, and current Section Chief for the Ohio Attorney General. He is a man I admire and have the utmost respect for. His honesty and integrity are second to none. I am privileged to vote for him and I urge you to do the same.
