Judge Ballinger is Great for Marion

Dear Editor,

I am writing to remind Marion's citizens how important it is to keep the valuable resource we have in our municipal court. When Judge Ballinger knocked on my door recently I told her how pleased I was to see a woman holding this office. It seems that the legal world is dominated by men. I believe when women participate in government they bring balance and a fresh perspective. After talking with Judge Ballinger about her experience I became even more convinced she is the best candidate for this job.

Judge Ballinger's experience as a social worker, teacher, and attorney allow her to understand the people she sees in her courtroom. She enforces our laws and keeps our community safe by holding offenders accountable while at the same time helping them learn from their mistakes so they can make better decisions in the future.

I have always admired women who can balance family and work - and help their children grow into productive members of society. These women have great management skills and insight. Judge Ballinger is no different. As our Municipal Judge she hears criminal and civil cases, controls her court's budget and manages the clerk of court's office and bailiffs. Her courtroom is a forum for the defendants and their attorneys, city prosecutors, and victim's advocates. She carefully considers all of these viewpoints and delivers justice.

I hope you will join me in supporting Judge Ballinger this November. She is great for Marion!
