Wynn should continue to serve in court of appeals

TO THE EDITOR:

Jim Wynn has been serving North Carolina for 17 years on both the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. He chairs the ABA's Judicial Division and is the first African-American to do so.

He also was the first black nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals during the Clinton administration. His nomination was rebuffed twice first by Jesse Helms and then by President Bush.

Wynn should be in the State Department — he missed his calling. When President Clinton came to town during the primary Jim rode shotgun with the former president. When Obama arrived Jim rode shotgun with the likely president-elect.

He possesses both a deft diplomatic touch and recognition on the national stage. I ask that you vote for my good friend Judge Jim Wynn for the N.C. Court of Appeals.
