NC SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE DISTRICT 35, Seat 2

NOTE: You may vote for one. Candidates are presented below in the order they appear on your ballot.

Reason for my Endorsement: I find nothing positive nor negative about Judge McEntire. The North Carolina Bar Association ranked him at a fairly standard rating in 2012. In short, I’ll likely skip this race.

Ted McEntire (Republican)

No social media found. Not much other info either.

McEntire is from Mitchell County and is a district court judge for the 24th Judicial District, serving Avery, Madison, Mitchell, Watauga and Yancey counties. He received his B.A. degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1991 and his J.D. degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1995

McEntire was first elected a judge to the 24th Judicial District Court in 2008. In 2014, North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Martin appointed McEntire as chief district judge for Judicial District 24. He is interested in moving up to Superior Court.

In 2012, the North Carolina Bar Association asked its members to rank incumbent judges with terms ending in 2012 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being “excellent.” Below are McEntire’s ratings in five categories:

  • Overall: 4.35
  • Integrity & Fairness: 4.39
  • Legal Ability: 4.53
  • Professionalism: 4.36
  • Communication: 4.33
  • Administrative Skills: 4.49
