Let’s just be clear. There are not enough women or Democrats in our local and state politics, and especially not enough in our courtrooms.
Given that Hamilton County has an excellent choice right now to remedy that, we endorse Democrat Kisha L. Cheeks for your vote on Aug. 1 to be the Circuit Court Judge in Division 3.
Circuit Court judges mainly handle civil cases, including divorces, child custody and business disputes.
Cheeks is a native Chattanoogan who graduated from Hixson High School, Vanderbilt University and the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.
She is a chemical engineer and a project engineer as well as an attorney.
