MEET KATIE CASCH
I am honored to run for Judge in Hamilton County and to serve the community where my family and I have lived for over twelve years. I am excited for the opportunity to help keep our County a safe and thriving place to raise families, start businesses, and enjoy all the truly unique things the County has to offer.
My education and experience make me the right choice for Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas Judge. I grew up just north of Cincinnati, in West Chester, Ohio. I am a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College of Arts and Sciences and the University of Cincinnati College of Law. I have spent the majority of my legal career proudly employed at the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. I also spent time at the Montgomery County Public Defender’s Office and have an understanding of criminal defense.
As an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, I fought for the most vulnerable members of our society. I represented Hamilton County Job and Family Services in custody cases involving
abused and neglected children. I took it upon myself to prosecute all animal abuse and neglect cases in Municipal Court. In Common Pleas Court, I prosecuted the most serious crimes against victims including domestic violence, robberies, rapes, and murders. Together, I have successfully prosecuted thousands of cases ranging from minor misdemeanors to the most serious felonies.
For my work as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, I received the PLEDGE (Promoting Lawyer Excellence & Driving Gender Equality) award from the Federal Bar Association. This award recognizes women in the legal profession who have demonstrated exceptional legal talent.
Currently, I am an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in the Civil Division of the Prosecutor’s Office. I am involved with representing the County’s elected officials as well as various County boards and departments. I draft and negotiate contracts for Hamilton County and ensure public procurement law is followed, all while protecting the County’s resources and taxpayers’ money.
After spending many years working in the courts, I have extensive experience in criminal and civil law. I have an understanding for the complexities that arise for all of those involved in the court system.
I am fortunate to be raising my family in Hamilton County. I enjoy spending time with my husband and children. Together as a family we enjoy going to the Cincinnati Museum Center, Hamilton County Parks, and the Cincinnati Zoo. We also love watching our beloved Bengals, Reds, and FC Cincinnati.
Make the right choice for Hamilton County. I’m counting on your vote in November to help ensure our county remains a safe and thriving place to live, work, and visit.
