Martinsburg, West Virginia: John Yoder, of the 23rd Judicial Circuit, has filed for the open seat on the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. This is the third time he has attempted election to this court. He has served on the 23rd District Court since November of 2008.[1]
"I believe it is extremely important to have a justice on the Supreme Court with prior legislative experience who respects the distinction between the legislative and judicial process and to provide balance on the court. As a former legislator who has served in all three branches of government, I recognize and respect the fact that it is the role of the legislature, and not the judiciary, to enact legislation and make social policy. As a justice, I will respect those boundaries while strictly interpreting and upholding the law. At the same time, if legislative actions violate the Constitution, I will not hesitate to uphold the Constitution."
