It is with complete confidence I'm supporting Deborra Garrett for Superior Court judge as I believe she is the best candidate for the job based on her qualifications and life experiences. Over 18 years I have watched her during some tough times with grace, perseverance and a sense of humor. No matter what your political affiliation is, Deborra will do what is in the best interest of the individual.

I have spent a lot of time with Deborra and her family as the 4-H club leader that she and her 2 children were members of. During this time, her husband became very ill and died several years later. During this time, Deborra not only stepped up to the care demands of her husband but also maintained a law practice and managed to hold together a family. She has raised two productive children as a single parent through this life-altering event. It wasn't easy, but she worked hard to be with her children and give them what they needed, while meeting her responsibilities to the clients and partners in her practice. She has done all of this with the an amazing sense of humor and "can do" attitude. She would work all night before a show or a fair, finishing her work for clients and then preparing for the 4-H event. Deborra has also been a long-time volunteer for the county mock trial program too.

Deborra is the most experienced, compassionate, hands on, individual for this job. I am so proud of her!
