Woman touts unique background in Ohio Supreme Court run

LIMA — Sharon Kennedy’s journey to judge has gone a different route than most and its the experience she received, including starting out as a police officer, she said makes her the best candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court.

Kennedy is running as a Republican challenging Yvette McGee Brown, the only Democrat on the state’s highest court, to fill out a two-year term. Whoever wins, will have to run again in 2014.

The 50-year-old Kennedy began as a Hamilton city police officer in 1985 after graduating from the University of Cincinnati. After nearly four years, she began law school and left police work to focus on her studies. In 1991, she passed the bar exam and became an attorney, and in what may seem like an unusual move for a person from a police background, she became a defense attorney.

“I think it helps to be on both sides. I got to see the world like most people don’t see it. Sometimes good people at their worst and sometimes the worst people at their worst,” she said of police work.
