Both Bob Edmunds and Suzanne Reynolds are running on experience.
In brief speeches before the N.C. Bar Association in Atlantic Beach this morning, Edmunds noted his service on the state Supreme Court since 2001 as well as his time as a criminal defense attorney and a prosecutor.
"You know with me what you're getting as a judge," he told the crowd of more than 150 attorneys. "I'm not running for re-election to pull the old switcheroo on you."
Edmunds noted that five of the seven judges on the Supreme Court are in their first term, arguing that the court needs "experienced, season justices."
Meantime, Reynolds cited her experience as a longtime law professor at Wake Forest University, an instructor for bar review and the author of a three-volume treatise on family law. She said that she has spent a lot of time reading and analyzing legal opinions.
"Some of our best appellate judges have been law professors," she said.
