NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Typically, a candidate for public office is endorsed after a series of profile stories where he or she is introduced and their candidacy outlined. There's no need to delay the inevitable in the race for county judge, group 8. Headline Surfer puts the full weight of its community journalism standing behind Volusia County Court Judge Bryan Feigenbaum.
He is the epitome of what wearing the black robe is all about.
Feigenbaum has the acumen of a jurist in every conceivable way: Appointed by the governor in 2010, He's well versed in the law as a former 20-year prosecutor, he's fair and his integrity is beyond reproach.
Away from the bench, where Feigenbaum is assigned to the civil division at the New Smyrna Beach Courthouse Annex, he's a family man: Married with three children and a Big Brother.
On Sunday, Headline Surfer will present to you in a multimedia format -- words, sound and sight -- why Feigenbaum beyond any reasonable doubt, deserves a clear plurality of votes in the Aug. 14 primary over obscure challenger Michael McDermott, an attorney in private practice; not to be confused with a retired judge of the same name.
Feigenbaum is the only candidate in the 2012 elections Headline Surfer is endorsing in this fashion with the weight of our evidence in support of him to come later. We are convinced that after we present him to you through a series of profile stories, videos and fast facts, that you will see for yourselves why Headline Surfer is so supportive of Judge Bryan Feigenbaum.
