Montclair voter spports Ebert for Commonwealth Attorney

Letter to the editor

I write in strong support of Paul B. Ebert for our Commonwealth Attorney.

Mr. Ebert’s opponent is Mike May. How many criminal jury trials has Mr. May been lead counsel on? Is it 50 or none?

As someone who has worked as a legal assistant at a top litigation law firm in the country, it has been noted by associates, who have jokingly, made the keen observation that I have more experience in the courtroom than Mike May.

Do we the citizens really want a chief prosecutor with no experience just because he is a smooth talker? That is what we call a politician, not a criminal prosecutor. I want someone who knows what he is doing if my loved one, or anyone, happens to be the victim of a crime, not someone who needs on-the-job training.

If May wanted to be a prosecutor, why hasn’t he prepared himself for this specialized field of law? Mr. Ebert is so well trusted that even former Virginia State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) requested that Mr. Ebert (D) look into his alleged involvement with Jonnie Williams. Even the Republicans turn to Mr. Ebert when they are in search of the honest response.

They do this because in their heart of hearts they know Mr. Ebert is non-partisan. Our county cannot afford a learning curve for its lead protector of the innocent. The common good of all has been served by Mr. Ebert and his staff. I urge voters to keep their families and our community safe.

Get out on November 3 and re-elect Paul B. Ebert – the man that gets the job done with justice, integrity and fairness.
