Dear Editor,

For me, there is a clear choice for the open seat on the Green County Circuit Court: Jane Bucher. Jane has proven that she is committed to the law and to equal justice. Jane helped bring the first Drug Treatment Court to Green County. Drug courts hold offenders accountable and provide access to treatment which saves lives, reduces crime and saves taxpayer dollars.

In addition to her leadership in the court system, Jane is deeply involved in the broader community including volunteering with Green County Big Brother/Big Sisters program and was instrumental in founding the Green County Multicultural Outreach Program, which builds bridges within our diverse communities.

Jane will bring legal experience, a dedication to public service and a deep commitment to Green County in her role as a Judge.

I am strongly supporting her and urge you to join me.

Ellen Hossman,

Monroe
