Letters to the editor LGO teaser

Jared Boyd is our best choice for circuit court judge. He served as a prosecutor for 6-1/2 years in the Union County DA Office and has been a defense attorney since 2015. He is one of the only attorneys in this area with that breadth of experience. He is also self-financing his campaign. That says a lot about his integrity.

Jared has the endorsement of current Judge Tom Powers and several retired judges. His opponent, Wes Williams, has no such endorsements.

From Jan. 1 to March 25, Judge Powers presided over 765 hearings. Because of disqualifications, Judge Williams handled only 301. By law, he had the right to appeal those disqualifications but has failed to challenge a single one.

All judges get paid the same $166,000 annual salary. We taxpayers are paying those salaries, but definitely not getting our money’s worth from Judge Williams. Vote for Jared Boyd.
