Voting Recommendations

Dear Friends

As many of you know, I have spent the summer getting to know many of these candidates personally. I am basing my recommendations on the results of that quest. In the case of the judges, I have tried to endorse those who think the same way I do. While party affiliation is not supposed to be a factor, in some cases it had to be. Candidates who donated heavily to the Republican party (George Bush, Clay Shaw etc.) were not candidates I felt would make judgments representing the way I felt. Some of these were very hard to choose from, but I did the best I could. While I found that almost all were qualified, I needed to choose the person I felt would be best suited from each individual race. I did not use incumbency as a yardstick. Some incumbents were fabulous at what they did and there were some whose time had come and who needed to step down. The names I bolded were of candidates that I got to know really well and fell in love with :-). They are young, fresh, enthusiastic and would do us proud on the bench. It's been quite a summer :-)

Please use these recommendations in the spirit in which they were intended. They are only a guide and the way I feel. Feel perfectly free to pass these recommendations on to your voting lists, making any changes you feel are necessary.

Happy voting!!!!!!!
