Padgett's 'family values, experience' makes him best for judge

Editor:

I am pleased and delighted that J. Wade Padgett is running for the honored position of chief magistrate judge of Columbia County.

As a veteran realtor in Columbia County, I have had the opportunity to work with Padgett and his family on numerous occasions in both professional and personal capacities. Regardless of the reason, however, Wade has always been extremely professional, honest and fair.

Wade Padgett has a supportive family and extended family. He also possesses strong family values. I believe that these family values, his extensive experience as associate magistrate judge of Columbia County, his knowledge of the law, an upstanding reputation and his understanding of the judicial needs of Columbia County make him the right candidate for chief magistrate judge.

I urge all citizens of Columbia County to make the right choice and elect J. Wade Padgett chief magistrate of Columbia County.
