Ind. Courts - Vanderburgh judicial candidates evaluated by peers
Libby Keeling of the Evansville Courier & Press reports today in a story that begins:
The three candidates for election Nov. 4 to the office of Vanderburgh Superior Court judge were evaluated by their peers this week.A total of 382 ballots were mailed to members of the Evansville Bar Association eliciting anonymous evaluations of each candidate. Bar officials say 186 ballots were returned.
Kathryn Sullivan, vice chairman of the Bench and Bar Committee, said the poll is done as a public service for Vanderburgh County voters.
"The taking of this survey and the subsequent releasing of the results does not constitute an endorsement by the Evansville Bar Association of any candidate for judicial office," she said.
The only contested judge's race this election is for the Superior Court seat of retiring Judge Scott R. Bowers. The nonpartisan candidates are Circuit Court Magistrate David D. Kiely, Superior Court Magistrate Jill R. Marcrum and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Perry.
