Sarasota Herald-Tribune Endorses Larry Eger for the Primary
Public defender: EgerExperience matters in 12th Judicial Circuit's Republican primary
“This year, Republican voters in Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto counties will have a novel experience: choosing a candidate for public defender in the 12th Judicial Circuit….Administering a staff of as many as 100, including 46 attorneys, and offices in each of the three counties is daunting. The challenge of defending clients who can't afford a private lawyer is made even greater by recent state funding cuts……Eger's experience gives him the edge.”We recommend Larry Eger in the Republican primary for public defender of the 12th Judicial Circuit.
