Before election day
comes, candidates cam
paign. Posters appears
from out of nowhere. Can
didates speak before civic
groups, churches and com
munity organizations and
massive advertising starts.
Everyone seems to be in the
process of politicking.
But there is one group of
elected officials that you
won’t see passing out cam
paign buttons or bumper
stickers. Those officials
are the judges that are
elected to serve in the
various courts of our ju
dicial system.
Because they are not
allowed to campaign, there
is a good chance that many
voters may not' be aware
that there are any judges
that are running for office.
On this year’s ballot
there will be two black
_judges wtyo will be running
• for office - Judge Henry
Frye, who is presently
state Supreme Court judge,
and judge Michael Todd,
r who presently serves as
District Court judge.
Justice Frye is the only
blade judge on the North
Carolina Supreme Court.
He was appointed to the
court by Governor Hunt in
February, 1983. He is the
only candidate who has
both Democratic opposi
tion in the primary on May
8 and Republican opposi
tion in the general elec
tion in November.
Prior to his appointment
to this office, Justice Frye
had acquired it very, im
pressive background in his
profession. He has prac
tical law for 21 years. He
has been a former Assist
or»f I Inijprl Cinioo Altnpnot;

Aside from serving seven
terms in the North Caro

is also a former profes
sor of Law at the North
Carolina Central Univer
sity School of Law.
A graduate of A&T State
University, Frye received
his J.D. degree from the
University of North Caro
lina where he served on the
Law Review. From both
institutions, Frye graduat
ed with honors.
Also to seek reelection is
judge Michael Todd. For
the past four and a half
years Todd has served in
the 26th District.
Throughout his term as
judge, Todd has proven to
be fair, competent and ex
perienced. “I’ve sat on the
bench for nearly five-years
and the consensus is that
I’ve dealt with cases fairly
during that time,” replied
Todd.
The length of time that
Todd has served as Dis
trict Court judge has al
lowed him to notice some
changes that he would like
to see occur in the court
system.
In addition to seeing the
courts receive more money
to employ additional people
who can make more cases
move swifter, he would
also like to see a deferment
process that would prevent
minor traffic offenses
from ever entering court.
A native Charlottean,
Todd is a graduate of
Myers Park High School,
Duke University and Van
derbilt Law School. He has
served as assistant state
attorney general and he is
a member of the NAACP
and the North Carolina
Bar.

Dear Friend:
Susan Green.
You know her name. You know her face. You know what she has
done for our community.
You know these things about her because she has worked for us in
her two terms on the Mecklenburg County Commission.
Child care, health services, the elderly,’ ambulance service,
education, affirmative action, district representation - all
involving neighborhood participation for you in local
government.
Susan Green has been working for us on these issues and many
more. Now we need her to Wprk for us in Washington.
Susan Green is running for the U.S. Congress as a Democrat.
When she gets to Washington, she will serve us in the same
hardworking, intelligent, and effective manner that she has used
on the County Commission.
As Charlotte's Mayor, and as a past member of its City Council,
I have seen how Susan Green has brought county and city
government closer together. As our representative in the U.S.
Congress, she can bring national government closer to home.
Susan Green needs your vote in the May 8th Democratic primary.
I am voting for Susan Green for Congress. I know you are as
concerned as I am about our nation and our community. I urge
you to join me in voting for Susan Green.
Sincerely,
Harvey B. Gantt/
