Jeff Welbaum is the ideal candidate for judge in the 2nd District Court of Appeals.

I know Jeff Welbaum and have work worked alongside him in the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for nearly two years. He is honest, smart, straight-forward, passionate and committed to justice and to protecting Ohio families. He and his wife Peg, who have been married for over 30 years, have been dedicated to their Miami Valley community from Welbaum’s earliest days as Miami County Prosecutor. He cares about our community and about doing all he can to ensure that justice is served.

Jeff Welbaum is experienced and talented, having spent over 16 years as a common pleas court judge. He has received countless endorsements, ranging from the Montgomery County FOP to the Buckeye Firearms Association to local sheriffs and other law enforcement groups. The Miami County Bar Association members’ poll named Welbaum as the preferred candidate by a margin of 54 to 10 and found him well qualified by a margin of 59 to 15 compared to his opponent. I am proud to vote for Jeff Welbaum. He is a good person. He is a man of great integrity. He is no-nonsense. And he is the right person to be elected as the next judge of the 2nd District Court of Appeals.
