Giovanna Scaletta-Bremke

Question 1

List your judicial experience (courts and years)

Magistrate, Elyria Municipal Court 2022-present

Question 2

What non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?

Having practiced in every court in Lorain County, I offer a well rounded experience coming to the bench. I have the legal knowledge to address the complex issued faced in the common pleas court. I am also the attorney for the Lorain County Drug Treatment Court and have presided as a magistrate over the Elyria Municipal Drug Treatment Court. These important specialized dockets help reduce recidvism.

Question 3

Why are you running for this particular court seat?

I want to make a difference in my community - both legal community and community at large. We have a need to reduce the cycle of repeat offenders to make our community safer. I also have the experience having been a judicial officer in a high volume docket to run an efficient docket. The community deserves a judge that can efficiently address their cases.
