In the hoopla surrounding the races for President and Senator, the race for District Court Judge gets little attention. I am supporting Judge David Holton.
The District Court hears all misdemeanor cases, including traffic cases. That Court does arraignments in all criminal cases and also conducts preliminary hearings in felony cases where there has not been an indictment. The Court also hears landlord-tenant [forcible detainer] as well as cases involving some civil claims The judges rotate between divisions which hear the various kinds of cases.
It is very important that we elect a Judge that has experience in these matters, especially where poor people who cannot afford legal representation are concerned.
I urge you to put a sign in your yard. Call me and I will get the sign to you, and if you want more information email or call.
Thanks,
Jim Segrest
