Courtney Worley's strong sense of community and family values led her to establish a private law firm in Mt. Orab before joining the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office. Growing up on the family farm, her parents instilled conservative values, morals, and the importance of hard work to accomplish any goal – big or small. Worley explains, “My grandfather established a legacy that continues through my father and siblings who still farm nearly 2,000 acres today. My family is the proud owners and operators of Adams Agri Business, which sells chemicals and fertilizer to local farmers. Representing and working hard for Brown County is what I know and what I intend to do as judge.”
Worley has set her efforts on making Brown County a better place to live, work, and raise a family. She says, “Brown Countians deserve the best. I have seen first-hand the benefits, challenges, and amazing potential of our rural county that is full of caring, hard-working individuals.”
Worley will promote public confidence and trust in the judicial system by protecting the rights and liberties of all by upholding and interpreting the law consistently, timely, impartially, and independently.
Worley will apply for grants to update court technology to improve accessibility, accuracy, and efficiency of the judicial process for the residents of Brown County.
Worley will increase support to law enforcement through expanding access to technology. For example, new tech will allow for search warrants to be signed electronically significantly expediting this process for our law enforcement officers who often work at night, on weekends, and holidays.
Worley will focus on collecting court costs, fines, and restitution, and ensure victims' rights are considered and their needs are met.
Worley will establish a local drug court that will punish but also require treatment of individuals struggling with addiction so that underlying issues, such as mental health, lack of education, homelessness, or unemployment can be addressed. Illegal drug use drives much of the crime locally.
Worley will improve accountability in dealing with the underlying issues that bring people into our local justice system. Individuals are more likely to become successful, productive citizens in society when these issues are addressed, therefore, decreasing crime.
