Alex Beal for Justice of the Peace

I strongly support Alex Beal for Justice of the Peace. Not only is he highly qualified but his opponent, the current judge, is an embarrassment to the judiciary.

Alex has been a prosecutor, public defender and attorney in private practice for 13 years. He serves as an assistant Municipal Court Judge in Missoula and has proven that he can keep a court functioning efficiently, handling a high volume docket with minimal wait.

His opponent has made a mess of her court. She is frequently unexpectedly absent, throwing the court calendar into chaos. Turnover in her court resembles a merry-go-round. In the past three years she went through five court managers. Her most senior clerk has served two years - in a parallel court that number is 34 years.

Her abuse of office includes requiring public employees to run private errands. The careless handling of court monies, leading to a warning from the County Commissioners, citing “grave concern” about her behavior.

Missoula deserves much better. Please join me in electing Alex Beal as Justice of the Peace!
