White Bluff Judge Leonard G. Belmares has announced he will not seek reelection to the municipal court and will instead seek the Republican nomination for circuit court judge. According to a release from his campaign, Belmares says he is “proud of what we have accomplished” since he was elected in 2014. “We have no backlog of cases, our court runs efficiently, and we are fair to everyone involved in the judicial process,” Belmares said in the release. “White Bluff was the first court in our Judicial District to submit a plan to provide continuous access during the COVID-19 shut down. I believe that efficiency and access are extremely important in the judicial system.” If elected, Belmares would serve Cheatham, Dickson, Houston, Humphreys and Stewart counties.
