25th District Court Judge

I endorse her wholeheartedly. Judge Walker is fair, extremely hard working and intelligent. She is inherently self-disciplined and cares about those appearing before her. She takes her role as a judge seriously, but with humility- she renders justice with mercy. She is constantly working to become more knowledgeable about the law and is well qualified as a judge across a range of different areas, including domestic, civil, criminal and juvenile. Just like any other type of work, there is a learning curve to being a good judge. The 25th district would truly suffer if we lost her 15 years of experience. 

She is totally interested in making sure that everyone gets a fair hearing and a chance to speak. She is not a political judge, but a judge who wants to make sure everyone has a fair opportunity in court. 

It is rare to find a non-educator who is a problem solver with regard to public education challenges. She has been a wonderful partner to our school system. Because she is a mother with multiple children in the system and a judge, she can approach each student's situation with empathy, fairness and justice. She hugs necks and gives high fives. She is a unique blend. I would love to have more judges and local officials join her efforts to partner with, to foster student's success.

I enthusiastically endorse Judge Walker. She has been a passionate advocate and participant in the reform of domestic violence and sexual assault prosecution. She has worked tirelessly to help bring about needed improvements in the ways we handle the bond process, notify victims, incorporate their input and render the whole process as transparent as possible. She was part of the team that decided that we needed to take this on and has played a central role in the changes being made.

She cares about people and makes sure they get a fair hearing in court. She listens to what people have to say. Being a judge is not an easy job to learn. Her experience as a judge makes a big difference.

I have seen Judge Walker in either the criminal or domestic courtroom almost every single day for the past 16 years. Judge Walker has the respect of law enforcement officers, assistant DAs, Judges, and other lawyers. I can't think of anyone in our justice system as widely trusted and respected as Judge Amy Sigmon Walker. The citizens have confidence in Judge Walker because of her experience of being a District Court Judge for the past 16 years as well as her experience as both a former prosecutor and as a defense attorney. Her sense of fairness and sound judgement are her most important qualities.
