CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO –
Pickaway County, Ohio- Magistrate Elisa Frosini Peters has announced her candidacy for Circleville Municipal Court Judge, a position currently held by Judge Gary Dumm.
Peters has been the Pickaway County Common Pleas Court Magistrate for Judge P. Randall Knece for more than twenty years during which time she also served as the Magistrate in the Pickaway County Juvenile Court (Judge Jan Michael Long) and Circleville Municipal Court. Prior to taking the bench she worked as an assistant prosecutor with the Pickaway County Prosecutor’s Office, an assistant Circleville law director and an attorney in private practice.
“I am excited to be considered for this position by the voters of Pickaway County,” Peters said. “I grew up in Pickaway County and returned after college to work and raise my children. The Municipal Court has the opportunity to play a critical role in addressing the opioid epidemic since it is more often than not the first place that persons with substance use disorders have contact with the judicial system. If elected, I look forward to working in concert with law enforcement, social services, addiction treatment facilities, mental health systems and the community to help fight the opioid epidemic.”
