Keep Judge Ballinger

I have known Judge Teresa Ballinger since she was a young girl named Teresa Granger. In her adult life we worked many years together in an area high school. It was in that environment that I observed this compassionate and fair yet firm teacher at work.

One of her particular strengths was working with and helping disadvantaged, challenging kinds of students. During this time she held a full-time teaching job, raised two fine sons, and still found time to complete a law degree at Capital University. I even introduced her to her husband!

This past summer I sat in on one of Judge Ballinger’s municipal court sessions. Not surprisingly, she demonstrated remarkable skills behind the bench. Teresa is hard-working, bright, professional, patient and understanding. I believe she has the requisite demeanor, temperament and knowledge to merit your vote. Please join with me in voting to KEEP Judge Teresa Ballinger in the Marion County Municipal Court.
