Carl Fox
Retired Superior Court Judge, Judicial District 15B
I have known Christopher “Todd” Roper since he moved to Chatham County to join the law firm of Moody, Moody and Williams in Siler City over 30 years ago. He was a zealous advocate for his clients, but he was always friendly, courteous and respectful in his treatment of his fellow lawyers, court personnel, law enforcement officers and witnesses. Todd is a down-to-earth man of the people. As a judge, he is fair, patient, courteous, respectful and a good listener. Judge Roper has the temperament and character that are essential to be an excellent judge. For all of these reasons, I support TODD ROPER for District Court Judge and I endorse his candidacy for District Court Judge for Judicial District 15B (Chatham and Orange Counties) in the 2022 election. Please vote for Todd Roper for District Court Judge.

Todd and I had dozens of cases together as fellow Chatham County lawyers, and while I was a judge, he appeared before me in Superior Court dozens of times. Todd represented all types of people–young and old, from diverse ethnic backgrounds, privately retained and court appointed–and in all types of matters–criminal, civil, family, and juvenile. He maintained good rapport with his clients, opposing counsel and the court—obtaining good resolutions for his clients. Judge Roper’s experience gives him the unique ability to understand and earn the respect of everyone in his court.

I have known Judge Roper for nearly thirty years. He has always been a great attorney and an even better friend. Todd has always stood out to me for how much he cared about people. He consistently went out of his way to help anyone who needed an attorney, without concern for how much money they could afford to pay. I always knew that any clients I sent to him would be treated with the utmost attention and care. He is a great individual, family man and friend who will serve the community well as a judge. Todd is just the type of person we need on the bench right now, and I am proud to support him.

Recently our Governor, Roy Cooper, named Todd Roper as the next District Court Judge for Judicial District 15B, which covers Orange and Chatham counties. As Sheriff of Orange County, we welcomed the wealth of knowledge Judge Roper brings to the bench. Having served as a defense attorney in this District for many years, he has a clear understanding of the unique needs of the diverse communities located within Orange and Chatham Counties. I have found him to be very open to innovative ideas about how we can improve the criminal justice system, so we can better serve those who find themselves in our Courts. We have had very frank discussions about operational issues, and he has always been willing to listen to our needs while balancing them against the needs of the Courts and those who work there. I support Judge Roper, and I hope you will too.
Mike Roberson
Sheriff, Chatham County
Todd is a respected man of his word, who cares deeply about our community. He has all the qualities of a great leader. I trust Todd’s judgment!
