The position of Circuit Court judge will be up for election this year. Currently, there are 2 candidates as the sitting judge withdrew from the election:
Nicholas Illif (https://www.facebook.com/IliffForJudge/)
Jonathan Newell (https://www.facebook.com/Newell-for-Circuit-Court-536184929897670/)
This is for a 15 year position so what we get will be for a long time. I know very little about Illiff other than he just recently moved to the County and served as a Clerk in the Anne Arundel Circuit Court.
Newell is from the Eastern Shore (Chestertown) and has lived in Caroline the past 15+ years serving as the State's Attorney for the past 12. He's an avid outdoorsman and hunter and a strong 2A advocate.
Please follow this election, despite being local given the Presidential election, as it directly affects our County in how criminals/thugs/dealers are dealt with at sentencing.
