The Marietta Daily Journal – Cobb Superior Court candidate Stedman court needs experienced judge

MARIETTA — Juanita Stedman says experience on both sides of the bench has given her the knowledge to preside over Cobb’s Superior Court with more skill than her runoff opponent.

“I’m the only one of the two of us who has judicial experience,” Stedman said. “I’m the only one of the two of us who has done any civil work.”

Stedman has spent the past seven weeks squaring off against Ann Harris, a senior assistant district attorney, in the final leg of the race to fill retiring Judge Jim Bodiford’s seat on the Superior Court. Bodiford has spent five terms on Cobb’s bench since winning election in 1994.

Stedman touted her nearly 14 years as a judge as one of the biggest reasons she feels she would make the best addition to the court’s ten-person bench.
