Approximately 80% of the graduates of our 23rd Judicial Drug Court program remain sober two years after graduating the program. They give back to the community by helping others to fight their addictions and become sober. Our participants also volunteer to help others in need throughout our district. I am so proud of this program and the team members who help to make this program one of the best recovery courts in the state. I am excited to work with the Sheriffs and General Sessions Judges in all five counties to bring this program into the General Sessions Court and the jails.

About the Republican

May 3rd is a Republican Primary. There are only two candidates seeking the office for Circuit Court Judge, Division 3. Both are running as Republicans. Whoever wins the Republican Primary on May 3rd will proceed to the August General Election unopposed and will be the next Circuit Judge in Div 3 for the next 8 years. A Circuit Court Judge handles many cases involving serious issues that can affect your life. Therefore, EXPERIENCE COUNTS! “I encourage all voters to talk to Court personnel, lawyers, law enforcement, and the Sheriffs of each county and ask them about their experience in court with each candidate. The selection of a Circuit Court Judge is a very important decision. Choose the one with PROVEN EXPERIENCE! I have been impartial and have fulfilled my duty to the public without showing favoritism or bias. I will continue to uphold the law and assure that justice is carried out. It takes more than a law degree to make one an effective qualified judge. As Circuit Court Judge since 2014 in Div 3, I will continue to approach each case with honesty, impartiality, and integrity. I respectfully ask for your vote and support. in the May 3rd Republican Primary” - Suzanne M. Lockert- Mash
