It’s never been more important for you to vote in this Primary Election. There are fine, competent people who wish to represent you. To earn my endorsement, one must have knowledge of the issues germane to the office, have a track record of service and exhibit selflessness in their words and deeds. Those we elect to represent us should have the ideals of inclusion, fairness and prosperity for all. These Federal, state and local candidates all exhibit those lofty ideals. Recent rulings and actions have shown us the importance of electing a judiciary committed to the rule of law. The judicial candidates endorsed here have backgrounds which indicate that basic, vital commitment. Please encourage your family and friends to vote up and down the entire Democratic ticket.
