This fall, we have the opportunity to send an experienced and fair-minded judge to the Montana Supreme Court. District Court Judge Dan Wilson has the background, courtroom experience and temperament to be an excellent justice. Prior to serving for the last eight years as a district court judge, he was a prosecutor and worked in private practice. His private practice included a wide range of civil issues, and he also represented people charged with crimes in state and federal courts. He has over 30 years’ experience in civil and criminal law, both as a practitioner and recently as a judge.
Judge Wilson’s Montana roots run deep. His great grandfather homesteaded in eastern Montana and his grandfather served as a city judge in Malta and justice of the peace for Phillips County.
I’ve practiced in front of Judge Wilson and found him to be a fair-minded and hard-working jurist. As a Montana Supreme Court justice, he would follow the law and would not legislate from the bench.
Please join me in supporting Judge Dan Wilson for the Montana Supreme Court.
