Thank you to those who voted responsibly in voting for qualified judges. However there was one candidate who won that was rated NOT QUALIFIED by 7 of the eleven bar associations. That is Elizabeth Hayes for the Vacancy of Ward.
So we must continue the awareness of the importance of these races and get out the word to look for the ALLIANCE of BAR ASSOCIATIONS for JUDICIAL SCREENING at their website of http://voteforjudges.org
