In her letter Catharyn Tivy writes: "As a certified mediation and negotiation specialist, Judith Knight has the skills we will need moving forward in order to find common ground on polarizing issues."

To the editor:

I’m proud of my longtime friend Judith Knight for stepping up to run for Berkshire County district attorney. Her qualifications are impressive and her proposals are resourceful. Making immediate progress on reforms will require the DA to be an effective collaborator. This is where Judy has an edge. As a certified mediation and negotiation specialist, she has the skills we will need moving forward in order to find common ground on polarizing issues. Judy Knight is perfectly positioned to bring about the changes we all want to see. Vote for safety in Berkshire County on Sept. 4!
