To the editor:
I am voting for Amanda Benjamin for Lincoln County Circuit Court judge and I urge you to join me in voting for her.
I have known pro tem Judge Benjamin since she was a deputy district attorney here in Lincoln County. I’ve worked very closely with pro tem Judge Benjamin and saw, firsthand, her vast knowledge of the law. I also saw her ability to apply the law fairly while maintaining an extremely high level of integrity and professionalism.
As the current pro tem Judge she hit the ground running. Her brilliance in case law became evident immediately as she was able to step into the very big shoes of retired Judge Pauline Sanders and immediately make an impact.
If my endorsement isn’t enough, please take into consideration that the other two circuit court judges in Lincoln County publicly endorse her as well. Your vote is the most important thing in 2020, please join me in voting for Amanda Benjamin as Lincoln County Circuit Court judge.
I have known the other candidate for longer than Amanda Benjamin, and she is a nice person. However, this is not a personality contest, it’s about who’s best for the job. Please join me in voting for Amanda Benjamin.
