" I can't think of a better guy for the job. "

" I had the privilege of working with Judge Freitag when he was still a prosecutor. He is intelligent, thorough in his work and thoughtful in his responses. Best of luck. "

" Good luck to you Judge Freitag. You are a good man and I wish you well. I hope your supporters take the advice that you quoted of being good at whatever you are. "

" You have lived up to Lincoln's words, You are now a judge and a good one, and I know you will continue to do so as Circuit Judge. "

" Judge Freitag is a very fine judge and a man of conscience. I think he would be an asset to the bench, and make a difference in many peoples lives. I drove an employee to court several months back and Judge Freitag was on the bench in this mans' case, so I had the opportunity to observe first hand this judges' approach. He was very polite, fair, and at the same time was firm in his position as to his expectations of this employee. Since then, the employee has completed what was expected of him and is getting on with life. Judge Freitag has a way of dealing with people that is firm but fair, and that is the kind of leaders who can orchestrate changes in people. You have the votes of myself and my family sir. "
