TEAGUE ENDORSES FELLOWS IN TUESDAY RUNOFF FOR FAMILY COURT JUDGE

Dewey Teague, former candidate for Lee County Family Court Judge, is ready to let everyone else know who he is supporting in the July 13^th runoff election, and it’s Mike Fellows.

Fellows was the clear leader in the Republican Primary initial election.  He won 17 of 24 Lee County Boxes, but in a four way race he was not able to get the majority of all votes cast which was necessary to avoid a runoff.  Fellows faces challenger Margaret Mayfield in the runoff.

Soon after the primary, Teague said he was “99.9% sure” who he would be supporting and on Tuesday he made it official.  In his public announcement Teague said “I have been working in Family Court and working with children in Court for 30 years, and I know the personalities and the people in that Court.  I also know a lot about the needs of the children and families that come through that Court. For the last seven years I’ve often gone before Mike Fellows where he’s heard my client’s cases as a judicial referee.  He has always been fair and has always shown a genuine concern for the lives of the people that were before him.  There is no question in my mind that Mike’s judicial temperament and his genuine concern for Children and Families make him the clear choice on July 13^th.”

Fellows says he is grateful for Teague’s trust and support:  “I am very grateful to Dewey for his support in this runoff.  One thing I can say about Dewey Teague, is that in all the cases he’s brought before me in Court, I can’t remember one where I thought he wasn’t seeking the best interests of the children involved-even if it meant he took some personal heat.  Dewey knows both of the candidates in this runoff well, so when he stands up to support me, it means a lot.”

In regards to Teague’s supporters, Fellows says “I would love for all those who supported Dewey to vote for us next Tuesday so we can accomplish our joint vision of changing children’s lives to change our community’s future.  This campaign is not about me it’s about the people that come through that court.  Family Court affects everyone. Dewey ran his campaign the same way so I hope his supporters will follow his lead and turnout and vote for us at the polls on the 13th.”
