respect
Everyone seeks respect and it’s a two way street. It takes effort to earn and merely seconds to destroy. District Court judges have an enormous role in the judicial system because they hear the most variety of cases. Cases range from simple first time traffic infractions to misdemeanor such as shoplifting and DUIs; to felony crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape, and arson. Phillip PAGE is the best suited for District Court Judge because of his ability to communicate the law, teach others about the process, and ultimately foster trust in the system. Simply put, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Respect: (noun) A feeling or understanding that someone or something is important, serious, etc., and deserves appropriate treatment or regard. (Verb) to consider worthy of high regard; to act in a way which shows awareness (i.e. someone’s rights, wishes, etc…); to treat or deal with something or someone in a proper way; to do what is required by law.
Accountability
Phillip PAGE believes elected officials are accountable to the people. As a young man, he was a Boy Scout in the 1990s and obtained the rank of Eagle. It was there he first learned what it meant to be responsible for himself and others; and the value of serving community over self. Immediately after college, Phillip enlisted in the U.S. Army as an active duty soldier. The enlistment took him as far as Alaska and a 16 month deployment to Iraq, where he received a Purple Heart. All of this was done because he believes in being accountable to his fellow man. Phillip PAGE seeks to elevate the title of “Judge” to one of community leader and champion for the law. Being a judge is not about self elevation or gratification; it’s about answering a higher calling to serve one’s community, sacrifice one’s freedom, and inspire others to do the same.
Accountability: (noun) the quality or state of being accountable; an obligation or willingness to accept responsbility or to account for one’s actions.
Justice for all
Victims have rights. The community as a whole has rights. Phillip PAGE believes we have the right to be protected from those that would do us harm. Like many communities, Daviess County has been rocked by violence related to guns and drugs. Those that resist the legal authority of our laws, law enforcement, and courts; once due process has been observed; should then receive judgment. Repeat offenders repeat because they do not fear the consequences of their actions and they have not addressed the underlying issues causing the lawlessness. Phillip PAGE has spent years working alongside nonprofit organizations to understand how these programs can work towards repairing the community and promoting peace.
Justice for All: Justice: (noun) the process or result of using laws to fairly judge cases, redress wrongs, and punish crimes; the quality of being just, impartial or fair; the principle or ideal of fair treatment or right action; conformity to truth, fact, or reason.
