Hayden seeks re-election to 26th Circuit Judge's job

Kenny Hayden, R-Barnett, filed last week for his second six-year term on the bench in Moniteau, Morgan, Miller, Camden and Laclede counties.

"I love being a circuit judge, and I certainly am thankful for the opportunity I've had to serve the citizens of the 26th Circuit," Hayden told the California Democrat after filing for the office last week. "We're a busy circuit, and one of the things I really like about the job is, the days go by quickly.

"You're in a different county, often, each day, and you get to see different folks."
