Hedrick is the right pick for circuit judge

The citizens of Hamilton County are fortunate to have a person of such outstanding character in Judge Kyle Hedrick serving as Circuit Court judge.

I have known him and his family for more than 15 years and have watched as he led our church youth group as youth minister, helping families in times of need with compassion and wisdom. I have worked side-by-side with him serving others in medical mission efforts in Nicaragua and in Hurricane Katrina disaster relief efforts in New Orleans. He cares about people and is kind and respectful to all people.

Judge Hedrick is a hard worker and a man of great integrity who has raised his three children to be kind, compassionate and respectful.

As Gov. Haslam acknowledged by his appointment in December, he is the right choice for Circuit Court judge. Not only does he have the experience as judge since his appointment, he also has served for several years as administrative hearing officer for the cities of East Ridge, Red Bank, Collegedale and Chattanooga.
