“I am pleased to add my name to the list of endorsers of Judge Shamieka Rhinehart. She is kind and has an unmatched, organic commitment to the Durham community and beyond. She understands that her work and decisions are reflections of her values. As a result, she is intentional about her actions and thoughtful about their impact. These qualities have always been evident, regardless of the capacity in which she serves. Shamieka represents the absolute best of Durham and our judicial system. I have no doubt that she will continue to serve with integrity, grace, and an unparalleled work ethic.”

William V. “Bill” Bell

Former Durham, NC Mayor

“The court process is an experience that intimidates anyone, especially if we run into judges who probably don’t understand it’s our way of life. As a lawyer, I have known Shamieka Rhinehart since we were students. She is a sincere person, with a good heart, she’s very intelligent, who has always helped everyone. She started from the bottom, working to pay for her studies. She always volunteered to help the community and worked  as prosecutor to obtain justice for victims of crime. Now she is looking to be a Judge. I believe she is a person that we need in the Court. She is not a person who is going to treat us differently because we are immigrants, but rather she is going to treat us fairly and with respect. I support Shamieka Rhinehart and hope you do too. Vote for her!”

Miguel Munoz

Durham Attorney

“I got to know Shamieka fourteen years ago when she volunteered to become a mentor at Partners for Youth. She quickly revealed a lot about herself when she asked to be matched with a challenging student. Shamieka is drawn toward difficult situations many others run from. Shamieka brought that same kind of heart and tenacity to her work as a District Court Judge as our community struggled to reform our criminal justice system. I believe that she will continue to bring that same heart to her work as a Superior Court Judge. Let’s keep her on the bench!”

Leigh Bordley

Former Durham County of Education Member

“Shamieka Rhinehart is truly, deeply committed to the Durham community and the welfare of its people. In a hundred different ways, Shamieka has demonstrated her community spirit and her willingness to serve. Her enthusiasm for Durham is infectious. Shamieka is a terrific judge.”

Steve Schewel

Former Mayor of Durham
