As many people have stated over the past few months, it is extremely important that the individual who serves as JUDGE be THE RIGHT MAN or WOMAN for the job. Whether it is a judge on the US Supreme Court, the NC Superior Court, or in Federal Court hearing a case between neighbors, the CHARACTER, INTEGRITY and EXPERIENCE of the JUDGE MATTERS! Consider the incomparable words of one of the finest attorneys in the 4th Judicial District, Robert Gilmore:
"In a few days, the voters begin voting for the 2018 elections. Perhaps the most important race on the ballot is the Superior Court judge's race for the 4th Judicial District, which is Sampson, Duplin, Jones, and Onslow Counties.
This seat is the most powerful one in local government. Superior Court judges preside over cases ranging from multi-million dollar lawsuits to cases that literally decide whether to end a person's life for committing a murder. This person is more consequential than anyone on the Supreme Court or in the executive branch.
In our district, I am strongly and firmly supporting Judge Henry L. Stevens, IV. He is a longtime District Court judge, former prosecutor, and Colonel in the National Guard. Judge Stevens' list of accomplishments is vast, but it is his humility, fairness, and legal knowledge that truly deserves your vote. That is why Judge Stevens is the top-ranked judge by the NC Bar Association in the race.
This isn't a thing of Democrat or Republican. It's about the right person for the job. And like when he was in Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, or the District Court, Henry Stevens is the man for the job."
I appreciate everyone's support, encouragement, and VOTE!!
-Judge Henry L. Stevens IV
