Jeff Connor Endorses Judge Patrick King

Jeff Connor Endorses Judge Patrick King for Circuit Judge

To the Citizens of Madison County, Throughout my four decades in law enforcement—serving the residents of Madison County and leading multi-jurisdictional investigations as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis—I have learned that true public safety requires more than strong law enforcement. It requires a judicial system grounded in integrity, deep legal knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to the law. That is why I am writing to express my strong support for Circuit Judge Pat King as he seeks election to continue serving on the bench in Madison County. Pat King is a lifelong resident of Madison County who understands our communities and the people who call them home. Across his extensive legal career as a trusted attorney and now as a Circuit Judge, Pat has consistently demonstrated the qualities we need on the bench: fairness, firm adherence to the Constitution, and respect for the law. In law enforcement, we depend on judges who prepare thoroughly, act impartially, and ensure that justice is administered efficiently and equitably for every party that steps into the courtroom. Judge King's judicial temperament, combined with his years of legal practice and lifelong dedication to Madison County, makes him exceptionally qualified to continue serving as Circuit Judge. I proudly lend my personal support to Judge Pat King and encourage the voters of Madison County to retain his steady, experienced leadership on the Third Judicial Circuit bench. Sincerely, Jeff Connor Sheriff, Madison County, Illinois
