On election day, most voters will see a list of judicial candidates, and have no idea who to vote for.
Voting for our public officials should not involve guessing.
I want to tell you of an individual who is perfectly suited to be a fair and impartial jurist.
Howard Sturim is a lifelong Nassau County resident. He was a Nassau County Assistant District Attorney under Denis Dillon for 13 years, trying both misdemeanor and felony cases.
As an ADA, Howard worked his way up through the ranks, and he became head of the Arson Unit. He was ultimately promoted to the Major Offense Bureau, where he prosecuted homicides and high-profile cases.
In 2004, Howard accepted his current position as principal law clerk to County Court Judge Alan L. Honorof, a judge before whom Howard had tried many cases.
Howard has been endorsed by the Nassau Police Benevolent Association, the Nassau County Detectives Association, the Court Officers Benevolent Association as well as the Nassau County Superior Officers Association.
In addition, Howard was screened by a bipartisan group of attorneys from the Nassau County Bar Association, and was found to be “Well Qualified” — their highest rating.
Although judgeships are not political positions, his candidacy has been further supported by Republican, Conservative, Independence, Reform and Tax-Revolt parties.
You can vote for him on any of those lines.
As a dear friend for over 40 years I can attest to the fact that Howard is perfectly suited for the position of judge. He is bright, ethical, impartial, level-headed and fair.
With over 25 years of experience in Nassau County courts he is exceptionally well qualified.
Howard is a voice of reason and I urge the residents of Nassau County to vote for Howard Sturim on Nov. 3.
