Letter to the editor: Karaica would make outstanding district judge

I’ve known Mitchell Karaica professionally for 25 years. We both worked at Cheswick Power Station, where I watched his career progress from a laborer to a control room operator, from a union steward to senior business representative for IBEW 29. He was not only tasked with the operation of the power plant but with the safety of all the workers and the neighboring community. This progression took time and hard work. He was a natural leader, mentor and teacher.

I was fortunate to serve with Karaica on Springdale Borough Council when he was president. Once again, I witnessed his leadership abilities on full display.

I strongly endorse Karaica for magisterial district judge, as I know firsthand about his dedication, fairness, integrity, community involvement and ability to lead. He will use those qualities to be an outstanding district judge.
