Caperton for Judge: Vote Caperton

Letter to the Voters from Michael Caperton

MICHAEL O. CAPERTON

Candidate for Circuit Judge of Laurel & Knox Counties

Dear Voter,

I am Michael O. Caperton. I am currently running for the position of Circuit Court Judge presiding over my hometown of Laurel county as well as Knox county. I would like to introduce myself, provide background information, and hope to gain your vote and influence in my campaign for your Circuit Judge.

In 2007, I was elected as your Appellate Court Judge. In January of 2015, I retired from the Appellate Court. During my time on the Court of Appeals, I presided on panel and heard over two thousand cases. The experience gained by hearing cases at the Court of Appeals is valuable and gives an appellate judge a legal background second to none.

Prior to my service with the Court of Appeals, I served as a trial judge in the 27^th district of Laurel and Knox for over 13 years and heard more than 100,000 cases. The voters in my district showed their confidence in my service through my reelection for 4 terms of office. Their continued support and your support elected me to the Court of Appeals in 2007. I appreciated all your votes of confidence in my ability. I now ask for your vote and influence in 2016, so that I may return to serve Laurel and Knox counties once again.

I attended Transylvania University, graduating in 1977, thereafter attended Cumberland College and obtained a teaching certificate, and graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 1987 with a Juris Doctorate. My daughters, now 22 and 23, are attending college.

On November 8th, 2016, your vote and influence will determine whether I may serve you again. Remember, this is a non-partisan ballot, everyone votes. I welcome your comments, concerns, and suggestions.

Thank you!

I urge you to speak to everyone you can and influence them to vote Caperton for Circuit Judge.

Yours Truly,
