Ind. Courts - "4 vie for Lake county District 3 judgeship"
Related to this entry last weekend re "Lake incumbent judges get nod from lawyer group," Marisa Kwiatkowski of the NWI Tmes reported yesterday:
CROWN POINT | Three newcomers are vying to unseat incumbent Lake County Superior Court Judge Julie Cantrell in the May Democratic primary.Cantrell, 40, has served as the District 3 court judge for 11 years. She is running for her third term and is the only judge facing opposition to the bench.
"I love what I do," the Crown Point resident said. "I recognize that I can't fix everybody."
Cantrell's re-election is being challenged by Democratic attorneys Randy Godshalk, Nancy Moore Tiller and Jeremiah Sheets. * * *
A recent Lake County Bar Association survey ranked the candidates, and others, on the basis of their professional competence, temperament and general character.
Cantrell scored 64 percent approval for re-election, results show. Godshalk scored 23 percent, 11 percent picking Tiller and 2 percent selecting Sheets.
