Alabama Supreme Court Justice Sarah Stewart has received the endorsements of 80 percent of the republican judges from across the state in her campaign to be the next Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.
“I worked side-by-side with Justice Stewart for 19 years, and Sarah is the only candidate in the March 5th GOP Primary who has served as a state trial court judge and sentenced convicted criminals in accordance with the law,” St. Clair County Presiding Judge Phil Seay stated. “I have always respected her as a trusted, hardworking, common sense conservative justice who follows the law and does not create it. I am proud to stand with 128 other trial judges in strongly supporting and fully endorsing Justice Sarah Stewart for Chief Justice.”
In addition to the 129 republican judges, in recent weeks, Stewart has received public endorsements from 32 republican sheriffs and police chiefs, and 26 republican District Attorneys from across Alabama.
“I know Justice Stewart to be an honorable Christian woman with great integrity,” Lauderdale County District Judge Carole Medley said. “She has mentored many new judges and is respected as someone who truly cares about making sure the people of Alabama have the judges and justice they deserve. I can think of no better person to be Chief Justice of our state.”
Justice Sarah Stewart has nearly 20 years of judicial experience, including the last six years as a justice on the Alabama Supreme Court.
“I am honored and humbled by the outpouring of support from so many of my fellow trial judges for my election as Chief,” Justice Sarah Stewart said. “Our judges work hard every day under very difficult conditions to bring justice to the people of Alabama. Their support sends a clear message that I am the right leader for the courts of Alabama.”
