Mineral County Commissioners Briefs

A glowing recommendation

Since August 2007, I have presided over Justice Court in Sanders County. Previously, I had been in law enforcement for over 30 years, in both urban and rural areas. In my experience on both sides, it would be extremely difficult to perform the job of Justice of the Peace without a law enforcement or judicial background. Having conferred with Judge Wanda James on complicated or technical issues that I have faced in Sanders County Court, I can attest to her knowledge of the judicial system and her professionalism. Keep the knowledge, professionalism and experience of Judge Wanda James in Mineral County. You have invested your money in Judge James’ training, continued education and community programs for 15 years. A vote for Judge Wanda James is an ongoing commitment to professionalism and experience in Mineral County.
