"I presided over several trials at which Mr. Gardner was the prosecutor, including a murder prosecution involving several complex legal issues. He is a proven, experienced, intelligent, tough prosecutor who knows how to get the job done, while adhering to the highest ethical standards."

"I have always found Alex Gardner to be a top-notch guy. He is what an ideal prosecutor should be: Honest, consistent, and yet able to keep perspective and not let a case get "personal" to the point it precludes resolution of a matter. I think Alex has the force of personality to lead the office, and will do well."

"Alex is the right person to keep Junction City and all of Lane County safe! His impeccable record, ethical standards and willingness to take on the toughest issues make him the best candidate."
