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.
