judge should be courteous in the courtroom, but firm and authoritative
when necessary. Citizens of our county deserve nothing less, and they'll

respect, dignity, and integrity–whether as an attorney or in his private
life. He was raised middle class and taught the principle of pursuing
worthy goals. He was a missionary in Spain. He's a family man and he's
done a wide variety of jobs from manufacturing, janitorial, sales,
landscaping, to road construction before he obtained a law degree. He
has given high priority to advocating for children and families,
including the elderly and disabled. No other candidate has as much
courtroom experience as Terry. Based on his diverse life experience and
his 24 years as a courtroom attorney doing motions and trials, Terry has
demonstrated that he has the temperament and proven skills to work with
others, and the ability to treat all members of the community fairly and
impartially.
