With more than 90,000 votes in, Jessica Yeary looks poised to win the public defenders’ race in the second judicial circuit. She has more than 60% of the vote, giving a clear edge over incumbent Andy Thomas. Yeary says she’s ready to get to work.
"We are going to be trial lawyers, we are going to be skilled dedicated trial beasts who will get in there and defend our clients," said Yeary. "With every ability of our skill, our knowledge, our training, and our experience they are going to know that they have an ally sitting next to them that is going to fight for them."
Yeary spent election night with family and close friends at home. She says she’s thankful for the voters and her campaign team.
