Voting For Marty Lasley - And Response

Monday, July 30, 2012

As a lifelong resident of Soddy Daisy and a business owner in the community, I am voting for Marty Lasley for Soddy Daisy judge. 

I have known Marty his entire life.  He has always been a man of great integrity and intelligence.  Marty’s campaign pledge is to serve with compassion and fairness and rule in accordance with the law.  I am confident that he will fulfill that pledge every time he sits on the bench as a representative of our community.

We are fortunate to have a man with Marty’s knowledge, experience and character living in Soddy Daisy and willing to serve our families and business owners. 

I ask all of my friends to vote D. Marty Lasley for Soddy Daisy City Court judge.

Join me in supporting my friend, Marty Lasley, for Soddy Daisy’s next city judge.  His family has supported and contributed to this great city for many years.   

Marty is a man of character, of great knowledge, and of sincere compassion.  I have known him since his teenage days, attended college with him and his wife, Kelly, and have watched him mature personally and professionally.   

I believe he is the right man for the job in Soddy Daisy.  His heart is in this community.  Please consider giving your vote to Marty on Thursday.
