Voters of Trego County:
For the last nearly 15 years, I have had the honor of serving your community. I’ve represented you, your family members, and your neighbors on all sorts of legal matters ranging from speeding tickets and traffic matters, to minors in possession of alcohol, to drug possession and distribution cases, to Children in Need of Care hearings, to juvenile offender matters, to some of the most heartbreaking criminal cases that plague every community. I’ve been a lifelong Western Kansas kid, and have enjoyed helping the residents of Trego County with all of their legal matters.
Without a doubt, one of the people that keeps Trego County on the right path is Judge Richard Flax. He’s been your judge since he was elected in 1996, and has done an admirable job in that position.
If you would ask any attorney that appears regularly in front of Judge Flax, I have no doubt any of them will tell you the same thing: Judge Flax is fair. Judge Flax is honest. Judge Flax is well prepared for every hearing. Every plaintiff and every defendant will be given their chance to be heard in Judge Flax’s courtroom.
In many ways, Judge Flax embodies the spirit of the community. He’s not a politician, not someone to ever talk about himself, so you’ll never hear him brag about his accomplishments, accolades, or awards. Few in Trego County know Judge Flax was awarded the Lee Nusser Award for Outstanding Magistrate Judge last year, because he would never bring it up.
I will tell you, that combination of professionalism, with that level of humility is exactly why his colleagues gave him that award.
A vote for Richard Flax is a vote for integrity, honesty, and fairness. Having someone you know will provide all of that to your community is not something that can be found around any corner. On November 5, 2024, I would encourage you to vote for Richard Flax for Trego County Magistrate Judge.
