The Sherman Division and the location of the Federal Court here in Sherman is <br />historically important. It was the long time resident Court in the District represented by House <br />Speaker Sam Rayburn. Through the years the sitting Federal Judges here have been local and <br />Federal leaders. In that same period, our local officials, from the Grayson County Judge to the <br />Grayson County Sheriff, have been supportive of this Court. These local officials have worked <br />and continue to work with the Sherman -based Federal officials in jail planning and other related <br />matters in support of the Federal prosecution and processing of Federal cases here in Sherman. <br />However, the hard work and effort put forth by these Grayson County officials will be vain if a <br />District Judge is not appointed. <br />The members of the Grayson County Bar Association do not speak in.favor of any <br />particular candidate currently before you, since all candidates are surely qualified. We <br />respectfully urge you, however, to give priority to this long languishing vacancy on the bench in <br />our community and appoint a candidate fully committed to living in Grayson County. and serving. <br />this Honorable Court and. community. We appreciate your timely consideration -of.this matter; . <br />Sin rely, <br />Ada Crone <br />Grayson County Bar President <br />Pursuant to Resolution Passed on May 11, 2011 and re -urged September 28, 2011 <br />Cc: Honorable Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison <br />United States Senate <br />284 Russell Senate Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20510 -4304 <br />Honorable Senator John Coruyn <br />United States Senate <br />517 Hart Senate Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20510 -4304 <br />Honorable Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson <br />United States House of Representatives <br />2468 Rayburn Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20515 <br />Honorable Congressman Lloyd Doggett <br />United States House of Representatives <br />201 Cannon House Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20515 <br />2 <br />
