1. Do you support public financing of campaigns for judicial candidates? Why or why not?

Answer from Mark R. Schweikert:
A judicial candidate is precluded from making any pledge or promise of conduct in office other than the faithful and impartial performance of the duties of the office. Because your questions call for a response beyond that limitation I am unable to elaborate further. I do pledge to perform faithfully and impartially the duties of the Office of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.
