Today the Judicial Discipline Commission's Standing Committee on Ethics and Election Practices found that my opponent had violated the Code of Judicial Conduct by allowing the names of judges to be listed on his website (and linked to his Facebook page), implying that they had endorsed him.  Judges can donate to campaigns but are not allowed to endorse any candidates, have their yard signs or throw parties for them.  A judge must know and follow the rules of conduct that govern the profession.  The full opinion is here (PDF - 627KB).

 I need your help.  Campaign contributions of $25 by each person who visits this site will enable me to buy the radio and TV advertising time that is required to win this.  The incumbent was shocked to finally draw an opponent so he is heavily-funding his campaign. Now is the time to send that contribution. Municipal Court is everyone's court and to get a good judge there who will be fair and provide justice to everyone, it takes funding.

Dear Voters:

I am a candidate for judge in Reno Municipal Court, Department 3. It’s a non-partisan election for registered voters in Reno. The Primary Election is June 8th and the General Election will be on November 2nd.

The incumbent was appointed to the position in 1996 and has never faced an election opponent. It’s time the public has a voice.  It’s time the voter has a choice.  I am running as an experienced and qualified candidate, to offer a new perspective to the Court.

"The nation’s armour of defence against the passions of men is the Constitution.
Take that away, and the nation goes down into the field of its conflicts like a warrior without armour."

Henry Ward Beecher
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit, 1887
