The only primary in these races involves Justice Robin Hudson’s race. This is a non-partisan primary in which Justice Hudson faces two other challengers. The top two vote-getters will advance to the November election. North Carolina Advocates for Justice CEO Dick Taylor noted the following for each endorsement.
North Carolina Supreme Court:
“Justice Hudson deserves our support in the May primary and the November election because she is a fair and experienced judge with 13 years experience. Prior to becoming a judge she represented North Carolina workers and citizens as a private attorney rather than representing insurance companies, government, or big corporations.”
“Justice Mark Martin is the best choice to be North Carolina’s next Chief Justice because of his trial court experience as a Superior Court Judge and his years of appellate experience on the North Carolina Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. This experience will serve him well in modernizing and improving our courts in this time of tight judicial budgets.”
“Justice Cheri Beasley earns our endorsement for her record of fairness as a District Court Judge and on the North Carolina Court of Appeals. She also has served ably as a public defender and instructor for students, lawyers, and judges.”
“Judge Robert N. Hunter, Jr. is the best choice to fill the final seat on the Supreme Court. His record on the North Carolina Court of Appeals is outstanding, most notably in his work protecting consumers’ rights in foreclosure actions through which he earned our organization’s award for most outstanding appellate judge.”
North Carolina Court of Appeals:
“Judge Mark Davis earns our endorsement because his impressive work and breadth of experience as a private attorney. While his tenure as a judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals has been brief, he has earned a reputation as a fair, hard-working judge.”
“Judge Lucy Inman is the best choice for this open seat on the court. She has earned rave reviews for her tenure as a Special Superior Court Judge handling cases in all 100 counties in a fair and common-sense manner. Prior to becoming a judge she was an outstanding attorney representing her clients with skill, passion, and commitment.”
“Judge Donna Stroud deserves re-election to the North Carolina Court of Appeals because of her able service on this court since 2007. Prior to her election she was a District Court Judge in Wake County and an accomplished lawyer, mediator, and arbitrator. She has particularly important experience and expertise in the area of family law.”
