Columbia, MO – March 30, 2010
All but one of the incumbent judges seeking reelection this year can relax this summer knowing that they are unopposed in the August primary. Incumbent Larry Bryson, however, faces a challenger for the Division 5 seat. Long-time local attorney Kim Shaw announced her candidacy today for Associate Circuit Court Judge.
Asked why she’s qualified to be an Associate Circuit Judge, Shaw stated, “During my more than twenty years of courtroom experience handling criminal and civil cases, I’ve seen what is required to be a great judge. Boone County residents appear before Associate Circuit Judges during critical times of their lives. Whether it involves child custody and visitation, or settling the will of a loved one’s estate, or the appropriate punishment in a criminal case, an Associate Circuit Judge’s decisions can have dramatic ramifications on the lives of those involved. I would be the kind of judge that Boone County residents deserve- a judge who will make reasoned decisions after carefully considering the law and listening to all parties involved in each case.”
Shaw’s opponent in the August 3, 2010 Democratic primary is incumbent Larry Bryson, who has been an Associate Circuit Judge since 1986. Shaw believes she will bring “renewed energy and focus” to the bench, enabling her to give to each matter her “careful attention and due consideration.” There is no Republican opponent for the seat.
