 To the editor:
I have been a lifelong resident of Logan County.
This the county where I married my husband and started a family. I
met Jonathan Wright over twenty years ago and the thing that stood
out to me was his character. Knowing Jonathan Wright for many years,
I have seen him handle many situations. There is one instance in
particular that has never left my memory. I worked at LDC from 1976
to 1985 and my husband worked there from 1975 until the time it
closed down. My husband also worked hard as the Vice President of
the Union until LDC closed. We both witnessed Jonathan Wright’s
tenacity in fighting to keep LDC open. More importantly, we
experienced the fervour and compassion Jon had in fighting for the
right and dignity of those living at LDC.
It was that experience coupled with his time as State’s Attorney and
all of the cases he tried that has furthered my trust in him as a
candidate. Every case he brought before the court, he fought to
uphold justice and protect the innocent victims. I personally
appreciate the integrity of Judge Wright for not using the details
of any case in an election cycle out of respect for the people
involved. His experiences in private practice as well as his many
years as Logan County State’s Attorney give him the best background
for this position. Along with his past accomplishments and many
years of hard work, what solidifies my vote for him is the fact that
he has been hand picked by the Illinois Supreme Court for the
position he holds now.

I have also seen him at many events in the
community, outside of an election period, simply there to show his
support for the community he is committed to. I have worked
alongside him distributing food at a local food bank almost every
month. I have also seen him working hard, in his current position,
out in the community trying to create a positive atmosphere of the
judicial system to our youth.
Judge Wright’s experience and moral character are the two
overwhelming reasons I will be casting my vote for him. I would like
to encourage everyone to consider voting Wright on March 17, 2020.
