Bill Kelly Jr.

Website:    I can’t believe he still doesn’t have a website / he has a Facebook page

Hometown:    Fairview, PA


Current Job:   Lawyer at his own private practice

Endorsements: Erie-Crawford Central Labor Council

Pro-Life? Unknown. He didn’t reply to the People for Life primary or general survey.

Comments: There isn’t much information available about Bill Kelly Jr. except for some Times News articles. It is interesting that his sister, Judge Elizabeth Kelly, is already an Erie County Judge. Kelly has said "I don't think voters should support me because of Libby's position nor do I think it is a strike against me."

Summary: Bob Sambroak has the most experience and he has an informative website. If I based my final decision on transparency and who would be toughest on violent crime, Sambroak would get my vote.  

Personal Note: Please feel free to do your own research and choose your own candidate. If you are still undecided on the candidates, Bob Sambroak’s Mission section on his website might help your decision.
