Ben Dean talked to the crowd at the 106th Annual Lone Oak Picnic

Election 2014Cunningham, TN – Circuit Court Judge Part III candidate Ben Dean gave a speech on Saturday, July 27th, 2014, at the 106th Annual Lone Oak Picnic held by the Central Civitan Club.

“We need change in this court. We have got a crime epidemic in Montgomery County and Robertson County,” stated Dean. “We got some of the finest best trained law enforcement in both counties. What we got a problem with is a court that is creating a revolving door for people getting in trouble over and over again.”

We have got to expand our drug court program to address the epidemic of drug abuse, addiction to pain medication and prescription abuse,” said Dean. “The veteran’s core program that we have operating has got to be expanded.”

“I am an attorney in both Springfield and Clarksville. I’ve got roots here in Montgomery County. Although I live in Robertson County, half my family branch comes from Montgomery County,” stated Dean.
