"The opinions issued by our appellate courts have far-reaching impact on each of our lives. My years of experience in civil, criminal, and administrative law make me uniquely qualified to serve on the Superior Court, and I humbly ask for your vote on Tuesday, May 20^th."

Maria Battista has more than 15 years of legal experience in civil, criminal, and administrative law and is a former Assistant District Attorney. She is also a skilled mediator and public speaker.

As a Commonwealth attorney, Battista was counsel in the Departments of Health and State. For three years, Battista was a hearing examiner where she presided over hundreds of cases, including for the Department of Corrections. 

Those who know her best have found her to have a strong legal mind, while still showing compassion. Battista has been a presenter for continuing legal education courses in mediation, oral arguments before appellate courts, and health care matters.

She plans to use her diverse legal and educational background to establish an office that is efficient, accountable, and transparent.
