Incumbent Judge Carter Says Community Outreach is Important

He strives to make sure municipal court is "more accessible to the people it serves."

Incumbent Wentzville judge Michael E. Carter, seeking a second two-year term in the April 5 election, believes a judge should be aware of the community’s needs. "I have a lot of ideas about what a judge means to a community," he said. "I did a thesis on it in law school, trying to have a throwback to Mayberry times, where a municipal judge is more community-oriented, focuses on outreach, and being part of the community instead of some isolated person that no one ever talks with or to.

Carter, who lives in St. Peters, is running against challengers Andrew Koor, Joel Eisenstein, Michael Kruse and …

Municipal Judge Candidate 'Withdraws' From Race

Cannot remove name from ballot, but will not campaign for office.

The field of candidates for municipal judge in Wentzville just got smaller. Candidate Jay Lenox told the Board of Aldermen that he was not going to campaign for the office. Lenox made the announcement at the board's work session Wednesday. "I would withdraw if I could, but I can't," Lenox told the board."I'm giving my support to Steve Martin."  It is too late to remove Lenox's name from the ballot. The election is Tuesday, April 5.  Lenox, an attorney at Niedner, Bodeux, Carmichael, Huff, Lenox and Pashos in St. Charles, said he entered the race because he didn't like the direction the courts were heading in.
