Kentucky

I have been asked by others about the upcoming election for Vice President of the Kentucky Bar Association and how I was voting.  To save time and emails, I will share with you that I am voting for Scott Madden. 

In any event, please vote.  If you do not know either candidate, then ask someone whom you trust to give you a good recommendation. 

Ballots for the election for Vice President of the Kentucky Bar Association have been mailed and may be in your mailbox as you read this.  Historically, if the ballot is not completed and mailed the first few days, then it is never mailed at all.  Furthermore, the "turnout" traditionally has been small so that a small group favoring a particular candidate can exercise more influence than they should. 

Recent events in the news show that the people we select are important in position and public perception.  The best way to work on your individual image as an attorney is to select those who will lead your professional association who possess a stellar reputation and image as well. 

If you are not familiar with the candidates, then ask another lawyer; just like your non-lawyer friends ask you about which judges to vote for at election time.

As for me, I am voting for Scott Madden.   I would encourage you to vote for him too.

If you disagree, then vote for the person of your choice; but vote.
