Justice Matters - Vote For Mike Acuff - And Response (2)

Monday, July 02, 2012

We have lived in Soddy Daisy all our lives.  For the last 21 years we’ve been privileged to know Mike Acuff and his wife, Susan.  We know Mike as a man of integrity, devoted and dedicated to his family, his church, his community and his country.  

Mike has years of experience as a defense attorney and twice spent significant periods as a military prosecutor.  Since incorporation in 1969, Soddy Daisy’s judges have set the bar of excellence at a high level.  We believe that Mike has the experience, demeanor and temperament to continue this excellence.  He will be an asset to Soddy Daisy.  

We will vote for Mike and we ask the people of Soddy Daisy to support him.  You won’t be disappointed.

I don't live in Soddy Daisy, but Mike Acuff would be the person that I would endorse. He is honest, great listener, super family man, and extremely knowledgeable of the law.   

Mike will make a wonderful Soddy Daisy judge. I ask my friends in Soddy Daisy to vote for Mike.

I would like to express my support for Mike Acuff for Soddy Daisy City Court Judge.  I’ve known Mike and his family for many years and find him to be an honest, fair, and caring individual.  Mike has worked as both a prosecutor and defense attorney.  He has served in the Army and Army Reserve for over 35 years, working his way up from enlisted man to Army JAG Officer.  He believes that justice matters and is committed to a diligent and unbiased legal system for all.  I believe Mike’s diverse legal and military experience, along with his temperament and passion for justice, make him uniquely qualified for this position.  The citizens of Soddy Daisy will be well served with Mike Acuff as their City Court Judge.
