Ind. Courts - "Martin announces candidacy for Greene Superior Court Judge"
Nick Schneider of the Greene County Daily World reports today:
A Worthington attorney has decided to seek a place on the Greene Superior Court bench that will be vacant at the end of this year.Today, Dena (Benham) Martin announces her intentions to be a candidate on the Republican ticket for Greene County Superior Court Judge.
"My education, experience and background are ideally suited for this position. Judge (J. David) Holt has been committed to the judicial process for more than 25 years and has provided exceptional leadership in the Greene Superior Court. I look forward to the opportunity to follow in his footsteps," she stated. "I regularly serve as Judge Pro Tempore in the Greene Superior Court, and have served as Judge Pro Tempore in the Greene Circuit Court as well. Through these opportunities, I have gained valuable experience as a judicial officer."
Martin is the second Republican candidate to announce intentions to run in the May Primary Election for the seat that will be vacated by Judge Holt's retirement on Dec. 31. Former Greene County Prosecutor David Powell, of rural Worthington, is also seeking the position.
Martin, a Greene County native, is currently Chairperson for the Criminal Justice Program at Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana in Terre Haute. She is also the acting Chairperson for the Paralegal Program at Ivy Tech.
