Meet Ingrid Turner

Growing up in Prince George’s County as the daughter of an Army Colonel and an educator, Ingrid learned the importance of service and treating people fair.  She attended Prince George’s County public schools and graduated from Elizabeth Seton High School.  Later, after she graduated from the United States Naval Academy, Ingrid earned an MBA from Golden Gate University and a law degree from Catholic University, Columbus School of law.  Ingrid was honored to become a member of the Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps and after 20 years in the military, she retired with a record of distinguished service.  But Ingrid wanted to do more to serve the community.  Ingrid ran for office and was elected to the Prince George’s County Council in 2006.  In 2011, she was unanimously elected to serve as Chair.  Today, Ingrid is running for Prince George’s County Circuit Court Judge.
“I believe this is a critical time in our nation and community where judicial reform is desperately needed.  I bring a diverse background with an understanding of the need to be firm, but fair.  I will be a judge who runs a problem-solving court that works in effective ways with everyone who comes before me.  When your son, brother, sister, daughter, husband, or wife comes before me, I am going to give them a fair shake.”
