“Michael Buglewicz has announced his primary candidacy for Justice of the Peace in District 4. (sic, Precinct 4). His goal is to put his 35 years of criminal justice experience to work to strengthen Pima County Magistrate Court. He believes his experience working within law enforcement has prepared him well to take on the responsibilities of a Justice of the Peace giving him a greater understanding of all sides and perspectives of legal matters when he assumes the bench representing District 4 (sic, Precinct 4). “I believe in always being honest, firm, fair, and respectful,” said Michael Buglewicz. “I will make decisions with integrity, impartiality, and compassion.”
