Defender of the Constitution: Donna Beaulieu, Candidate for Shelby County Circuit Judge

Special Feature

      

“The law is my life,” says attorney Donna Beaulieu of Calera, Ala. Her passion for law and defending the Constitution of the United States is why she is running for Circuit Judge of Shelby County in the May 24, 2022, Republican Primary.

Beaulieu is a conservative who has lived in Shelby County for 30 years. She is a wife, mother, and proud new grandmother. With over 24 years of experience practicing law, Beaulieu has encountered a wide variety of cases that she believes have prepared her to be Circuit Judge. “In past cases, I have fought for the 1^st Amendment, 2^nd Amendment, 5^th Amendment and 14^th Amendment,” Beaulieu says, adding, “I believe in a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of Alabama.” If she is elected as Circuit Judge, she says “I will do my duty to uphold the Constitution. I have a lot of experience reading the Constitution, understanding it, and applying it to cases.” Beaulieu is a believer in individual freedoms and will continue to fight to protect them. One of her past cases that she won- concerning the 1^st Amendment- went to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Why is she running for Circuit Judge of Shelby County? “I think now more than ever, the constitution needs to be protected and I believe judges are in the best position to do that.” With her vast experience in law, Beaulieu says she is ready and excited to serve Shelby County in this new way. “If the people give me the opportunity to serve them as a judge, I will do a good job for them.”

Beaulieu is a woman of faith. She strives to live by Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Beaulieu explains that this verse sums up how she aims to live her life in both professional and personal capacities.

Inspirations. “My family inspires me, and this country inspires me to run for office,” Beaulieu says, adding, “I believe people are needed to answer the call to defend what is good, right and godly about this country.” During her time on the campaign trail, she has met many people who have inspired and encouraged her in her campaign. “I hope I get to serve them in the capacity of Circuit Court Judge,” Beaulieu says.
