ABOUT

Meet Elizabeth Polston

I was born and raised in Cincinnati and now I'm raising my family here. I care about the safety of our community so families can thrive and businesses can prosper.

The Right Choice For a Safer Hamilton County

I have been an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for fourteen years trying everything from parking tickets to aggravated murder. I've advocated on the side of law and order for the most vulnerable victims and sought justice for the most heinous crimes. I've shared the frustration of bad decisions from the bench with victims of all kinds of crimes but what truly inspired me to run was the decision that required judges to disregard the safety of the community when setting bail. Ohio voters overwhelmingly reversed that decision when it was put on the ballot, but we need judges who will make common sense decisions when these issues are in front of them. I am running to be a judge who will uphold the rule of law, not legislate from the bench.

Before becoming an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, I practiced civil litigation and did transactional work. I am a graduate of Xavier University (Bachelor of Arts), University of Cincinnati (Masters of Arts), and earned a Juris Doctor from University of Akron. I am a graduate of Winton Woods High School. From the variety of professional experiences and educational opportunities with which I have been blessed, I am poised to take on the challenges of being a firm but fair Judge.
