FILE 1
Stunning and Shameful.
Disgraced Prosecutor
Woodyard boasts of his Prosecutor service.
But in a criminal sexual conduct case that he handled, he committed misconduct according to the Court of Appeals.1 He lied about evidence, and secretly recorded the judge discussing his misconduct, which he then unsuccessfully attempted to use to disqualify the Judge because of her remarks about him.
Woodyard does not have the honesty and judicial temperament to serve as our Judge.

FAILURE
REPEATED FAILURE AS A JUDGE CANDIDATE
Woodyard, a 20 plus year resident of Washtenaw County, ran for Circuit Judge in that county in 2012, and lost. He ran again for the same court in 2014, and lost.
After moving, he ran for Wayne County Circuit Court in 2016, and was last out of 21 candidates.
He again recently moved in with a friend in Canton so he could run for the 35th District Court (he doesn’t own a home and pay property taxes in this judicial district).
Woodyard tried to clear a path to a Judgeship without opposition by filing election challenges against his two opponents.2 A female candidate was subsequently removed from the ballot, but his effort against Joe Barone failed.
Woodyard will do anything to try and win- are these qualities we want in our community Judge?
