Robert Freitag support for William 'Bill' Workman

To the editor:

I have had the privilege of serving my community and my nation in different roles and with many fine people: working with many dedicated colleagues as a prosecutor for over ten years; serving beside men and women of honor for over 21 years in the United States Army Reserve; and presiding alongside other dedicated jurists in the courtrooms of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit as a judge for nearly 18 years.

You get to know the character and integrity of those you work closely with in each of these different roles.

There is one man with whom I have had the opportunity to serve together in each of these positions: William Workman. Bill and I worked side by side as prosecutors in the McLean County State’s Attorney’s Office in the early 1990’s. For a part of my military career, we served together as Judge Advocate General officers in the 86th Army Reserve Command and the 6015th Garrison Support Unit. And for the last three years of my tenure as a circuit judge prior to my retirement, Bill and I each served the citizens of the Eleventh Circuit as judges.

I can assure the citizens of Logan County that I know, from the experience of working closely with him in each of these different roles, that Bill Workman is a man of honor and integrity, and will serve Logan County well as its elected resident Circuit Judge.

Logan County is fortunate to have two qualified candidates for the position of resident circuit judge. But a choice must be made, and as one who dedicated my own professional life to service to my community, I urge you to cast your vote for a man who has done the same right alongside me: Bill Workman. I have heard Bill speak, for many years, of his dedication to and fondness for his home county, and he has served Logan County well and faithfully throughout his lifetime. I have no hesitation in endorsing Bill Workman for resident Circuit Judge of Logan County.

Robert Freitag
Circuit Judge, retired
Hudson, IL
