Ind. Courts - Judicial races in Monroe County
Laura Lane reports today ($$$) in the Bloomington Herald Times on a judicial candidates debate. Some quotes:
Most of the questions posed to Monroe County judicial candidates Monday night revolved around the needs of children and the county’s lack of money to provide court-based options that could make a difference in people’s lives once they leave the criminal justice system.All five candidates participated in a forum at Ivy Tech Community College.
Attorneys Valeri Haughton, a Democrat, and Republican Joby Jerrells are seeking the Circuit Court 6 seat being vacated by Judge David Welch, a Democrat who is not seeking re-election. * * *
In the race for the seat in Monroe Circuit Court 9, Republican Christine Talley Haseman — who was appointed by the governor to fill the new judicial slot at the beginning of the year — is being challenged by Bloomington lawyer Elizabeth Cure, a Democrat. * * *
There is one other judicial race on the fall ballot, for Circuit Court 5: Republican Monroe Circuit Judge Kenneth Todd, first elected to the bench in 1978, is seeking re-election and is unopposed.
