Elect Jed Beebe Judge

There is no one more qualified nor a finer person than Jed.

     Judge Rodney S. Melville

He regularly assists the civil and criminal divisions of our Court with time sensitive research needs and has done so in an exemplary, professional and confidential fashion during his entire time in this position.  Mr. Beebe also has a mild mannered, gracious temperament that is well suited to the bench.  He is very conscientious and has a strong work ethic.

     Judge Timothy J. Staffel

Jed Beebe is outstanding:  truly a scholar of the law with personal attributes that especially commend him for this job.  I give him the highest recommendation possible.

     Judge Zel Canter

Over the years I have seen Jed in all kinds of situations and under extreme pressure dealing with very high profile cases.  I can honestly say that I have never known anyone with such an even temperament.  Regardless of the pressure, he always seems to be on an even keel and deals with all problems, big or small, with the same consistent positive attitude.

     Paula McClain, Family Custody Services Supervisor (Santa Maria)

We were impressed with the depth of Beebe's experience, and the fact that he already is integrally involved in the operations of the Superior Court.  He has also served as a judge pro-tem, handling various judical duties in place of the judges.  Wwe also were impressed with the many endorsements he has received from judges - people who theoretically are in an ideal position to judge someone's fitness for the bench.  As we said, voters really can't go wrong in this election.  Having said that, we endorse Jed Beebe for Superior Court judge.
