Midterms are just around the corner, and now is the time to elect leaders who are committed to helping our community including our judges. One of the things I love about America is that we have a say…
Like, when we, when we met, that was, like, one of the things that I, like, noticed.
Like, one thing that I love about America and I always have to tell people is we get to elect our judges, right? We get to elect the people that make the legal decisions at the end of the day of, like, on some things.
You know, we get to elect our lawmakers, but now we get to also elect the people who are enforcing those laws, which is great.
And but slowly those, those, like, you know, have become very partisan, and that's one thing that I noticed about you.
And, you know, I, I have to, like, literally research a little bit on you to even find out, like...
And it took me actually a minute to even find out, like, you know, if you were, like, what political party you were and w- how you were affiliated because there was no, like, no partisan whatsoever in your, in, like, in your website, in your literature, in, like, who you are.
How do you keep, you know, the partisan out of a such an important race when, like, other people are not doing so?
I think definitely one of the biggest problems with judicial elections is that people have started looking at judges through the same partisan lens that they use to eval- evaluate politicians, right? Exactly what you're saying.
We're running to uphold the law and protect constitutional rights and make, you know, fair, independent decisions.
So as you've noticed, I've been very intentional about that throughout this campaign.
I've gone into communities across, you know, the county, talked with Republicans, Democrats, participated in every candidate forum I've ever been invited to or had the opportunity to, you know, get out to voters, and I've had really meaningful conversations with people who may not agree with me politically.
