Integrity and intelligence
As a father, small business owner and active member of this community, I strongly support Jennifer Chapman for Yamhill County Circuit Court judge.
Why? Because I think our judges should be a reflection of our community.
We have three judges on the bench who were former prosecutors, reflecting the important role that law enforcement plays in our community. But do we really believe that crime and law enforcement are all that matter?
When I look at Yamhill County, I see families. I see businesses. I see quirky events and parades and festivals, like Turkey Rama, the UFO Fest, Brews & BBQs, Cruising McMinnville and more. For me, this is just as much a part of our culture than anything else, if not more.
I think our courts should prioritize the issues of our families, businesses and everyday people just as much as they prioritize law enforcement. After all, crime represents only a fraction of what brings most people to court.
When I look at Jennifer Chapman, I see an intelligent attorney, a mother of four boys and someone who “gets it.” She has an impressive background, both professionally and personally, and she wants what’s best for Yamhill County.
Indeed, she has resisted every opportunity and provocation to take her campaign negative, insisting the “edge” she might get wasn’t worth the long-term consequences for our community.
We can trust Jennifer Chapman to reach fair, consistent and efficient decisions in both civil and criminal cases. She has the integrity, humility, open-mindedness and intelligence to do just that.
I urge Yamhill County residents to join me in voting for Jennifer Chapman.
