Twenty-nine years ago (as of the end of October), Robert brought Merri Rudd home to dinner at Preston Road. That’s when John Merck and I met Mer. None of us could have imagined what that was the beginning of: the rest of my life. Thanks, Robert. I wish you as much good fortune as you brought me.
Elect Willow Misty Parks Bernalillo County Probate Judge
Bernalillo County Probate Judge is easy to overlook in the middle of a long ballot. However, this race provides a stark choice between candidates. Willow Parks is an attorney with experience in probate and related matters. Bea Sheridan is a retired nurse with no legal experience at all. You can look at their respective websites. You can read what the League of Women Voters has on both. For 60 years, attorneys have held this demanding part-time job. In fact, some of those former Probate Judges have gone on to higher judicial office. While many of New Mexico’s smallest counties have non-lawyers as probate judge, all of those seek training and support from the current Bernalillo County Probate Judge, Merri Rudd, who cannot run due to term limits, which she supports. The very fact that a non-attorney would seek this office is evidence to me that she doesn’t understand the job’s demands. It should come as no surprise that Bernalillo County provides many complex probate matters that require a judge who grasps the limited authority of that office. The Probate Court cannot accept contested cases, which must be bumped to District Court. Yet, Sheridan promises to resolve such cases, far beyond the scope of the office. Parks understands the authority and limits of the office and knows the law. Parks will be an excellent successor to Judge Merri Rudd.
I hope you will get the word out about this race. This is not a partisan matter: This is about what’s best for Bernalillo County’s citizens.
