Supporters Of Broward Judge Up For Re-election Blast Opponent’s Apparent Revenge Motive

No one expected Broward Circuit Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips to draw a challenger for her latest re-election campaign. But one Orlando lawyer with no apparent ties to Broward County qualified to run against Phillips, and the judge’s supporters believe it’s a campaign with an ulterior motive that has nothing to do with wanting to win. Phillips is currently the administrative judge of the circuit civil division, second only to Chief Administrative Judge Jack Tuter and a likely candidate to assume his office when he steps down early next year.
