ANNOUNCEMENT TO
THE MECKLENBURG COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION 10/14/2021
THE MECKLENBURG COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION 10/14/2021
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great enthusiasm that I announce my candidacy for District Court Judge. Having learned of Judge Osman’s desire to run for the Superior Court bench, I will be filing for his vacant District Court seat with the intention of upholding the integrity and fairness our bar expects and deserves. As you may know, I am a life-long Charlottean who believes that service to our community is the highest and most virtuous calling. I have served on the Boards of Smart Start (Mecklenburg Partnership for Children) and Charlotte Works, and I’m more recently completing my second term as a Charlotte City Councilmember. In all that I do, I always strive to conduct myself in the most responsive, forthright, and honest manner. As a trial attorney with over a decade of experience, it has also been my distinct pleasure to practice alongside you in both Civil and Criminal Court. I believe in decorum and professionalism, but know that being a capable and effective Judge requires more. As Judge, I will run an organized and compassionate courtroom. You can count on me to apply the law in an expedient, reasoned, and impartial way. It is these varied principles, perspectives, and experiences that I will bring to the District Court bench and why I humbly ask for your support. Please contemplate endorsing my campaign or making a donation below, and thank you in advance for your time and thoughtful consideration. Respectfully, Matt Newton |
