Vote Judge Yvonne Laird

Dear Editor,

I am giving Judge Yvonne Laird my unwavering endorsement in her bid to be retained as district judge.

I have known Judge Laird and her family since I was eight years old. We grew up together, and she has been a big sister to me my entire life. She grew up north of Gildford on the VandeSandt family ranch, a family that you feel lucky to be neighbors with. There she learned all the values that rural life offers and she gained the character that rural life requires. I’ve seen personally that she’s taken those values with her to the Valley and her practice of law.

If there’s one person that I can trust to apply the law without personal feelings changing the verdict, it’s Judge Yvonne Laird. She has strong feelings just like all of us do, but she successfully puts her personal feelings aside to apply the law fairly and logically. In fact the only bad thing I’ve ever heard about her was that a Democratic governor appointed her. My answer to that is, even a broken clock is right twice a day! By casting your vote for Judge Yvonne Laird you are voting for the judiciary we deserve.

Sincerely,

Mark L. Wicks
