Letter: Vote Sam Swanberg for Superior Court judge

I have known Sam Swanberg for 14 years. I have learned many things about and from him over those years. He is an amazing man who is committed to his incredible family, our community and his beliefs. He has taught me over the years fairness, patience, and to not be quick to judge a person’s life based on one action.

Sam participates in community activities such as Scouts, coaching for TCYSA, serving on the board of Goodwill Industries, event organizing for Buddy Walk for several years, and Rotary. He and his wife, Stephanie, founded the ANGLS Network (a program providing car seats and training to families in our community).

Sam has been a practicing trial attorney in Superior Court for more than 23 years, where he has handled thousands of cases. He has such a respectable manner that an overwhelming majority of area attorneys who practice in Superior Court have endorsed him.

I know that he can do the job because he is fair, deliberate, respectful and will not pre-judge a person. The lawyers know he can do the job. He has the experience, integrity, and the ability to make rulings stick.

Vote Sam Swanberg for judge!
