10 Reasons to Write In Chris Bevans for Judge Position 7

Chris is honest.  Someone who holds the power to make life-and-death decisions about people in his courtroom must have this characteristic.


Chris is familiar with the appropriate law. His background as a general practitioner includes nearly all of the types of law that he might encounter as a judge.

Chris is accessible.  He is good at helping others understand the legal system in lay terms.

Chris is fair. He will begin each trial with no preconceived notions about the outcome.

Chris is humble.  He doesn’t take himself too seriously nor place himself above others.

Chris is sensible. He will make the most reasonable decision within the framework of the relevant laws.

Chris has integrity.  He will base decisions on what the law is rather than what he believes it should be.

Chris will be elected first by voters—not appointed by politicians.  The Oregon Constitution provides that all judges be elected to maintain the separation between the judicial and executive branches. This is a chance for Lane County voters to affirm their participation in this process.

Chris is committed to earning this position with an exclusively “grassroots” campaign.

Chris gives back to the community.  He generously gives his time to help others both as an attorney and as a member of the community.
