Knows all candidates, and supports Dunn

From 2007 to 2013, I was a probation/parole officer with the state of Tennessee. I worked with Boyd Patterson in the D.A.’s office, with Rebecca Stern when she was the Criminal Court Division II judge, and with Amanda Dunn in her capacity as a private attorney.

Without a doubt, I believe Dunn is the best candidate for Criminal Court Division III judge and that she will carry forward the legacy of fairness, justice, integrity and compassion created by Judge Don Poole.

In addition to her experience, her intelligence, humility and professionalism have helped her earn respect throughout the judicial system. Amanda also will bring an important balance in prioritizing public safety by upholding justice while ensuring defendants have resources and support to prevent future crimes.

As a social worker, I find her commitment to enhancing resources, offering treatment solutions that impact the offender’s root issues, and reducing jail overcrowding and strain on law enforcement to be unique and important. A judge’s role is important for the safety of our whole community.
