French featured
speaker at DCRWC
Judge Judith “Judi” French was the featured speaker at a recent meeting
of the Darke County Republican Women’s Club (DCRWC). French sits on the
bench for the Tenth District Court of Appeals, which hears appeals from
Franklin County courts and state administrative agencies as well as
original actions and civil and criminal appeals.
French is campaigning to win the Ohio Republican Party’s (ORP)
endorsement in her run for the Ohio Supreme Court. “Judges have
different styles when they campaign. I’ve found that I enjoy it and
enjoy the traveling. And, I enjoy even the door to door– getting out
and talking to people.”
During her presentation, she explained the process the Republican Party
uses to reach this decision. And how she, and her campaign, will be
working throughout the state before that decision is reached.
“I’m not just a lawyer and a judge. I think I am someone you all can
relate to. I’m a wife, I’m a Mom, I’m active in the community. I’m not
just someone who sits on the bench.“ explained French. “I need to
translate all of that, I need to translate all of my experience and the
kind of person I am to the voters and that is where you as volunteers
come in.“
Judge French continued by talking about how the DCRWC is great at
volunteering and the role of volunteers in campaigns.
Judge French has earned a B.A. in Political Science, an M.A. in History
(Military History & Strategic Studies), and a J.D. (with honors),
all from The Ohio State University. She currently serves as a
member of the Moritz College of Law National Council.
Judge French resides in Grandview Heights with her husband, Ed Skeens,
who is a Magistrate in the Franklin County Common Pleas Court, They
have two children, Julia and Joseph.
