Campaign Finance Reports for Lake County Judges and Prosecutor

LFC Comments: We asked for and received from the Lake County Board of Elections the Ohio Annual Campaign Finance Reports for Judge O’Donell, Judge Lawson, Judge Falkowski, Judge Culotta, Judge Condon, Judge Bartolotta, and Prosecutor Coulson. We are working on the reports for Judge Lucci. Since he is running for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, he filed with the Secretary of State’s Office.

Did you know that the average citizen can file a compliant against a judge?

You should also be aware that if you file a complaint against a judge, you are not allowed to tell anyone. Our lips are sealed!

Here is a link to a website that gives you instructions on how to file a complaint against a judge:
