Judicial ratings now available


You can see and print them out from here. If you still don’t know who to choose, see if they have a website, google them, or ask here. There’s never enough information on judicial candidates.

Thank you to the Judicial Candidates Rating Coalition and hattip to dBusinessNews Cleveland which ran this story yesterday.

Two updates after reviewing the Dem side:

1. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court Judge Peter Sikora – my choice in the Dem primary for one of the two Ohio Supreme Court seats, – achieved, overall, better ratings than his Democratic opponent who, however, garnered the Ohio Democratic Party, Plain Dealer and the Sun News endorsements.

Don’t make the same mistake they’ve made by endorsing the less deserving candidate.

2. Do not despair re: the Juvenile Court judge race with seven names. Attorney Jennifer Martinez Atzberger isn’t listed because she’s been forced to run as an Independent. You can vote for and elect her in the fall.

As for this time around, Joe Young stepped up and supported keeping Ms. Martinez Atzberger in the race, even though he is an opponent. He gets serious consideration from me on that basis alone.

Isn’t it ironic that the man with the Name Game advantage just happens to be the candidate with the best ratings? I haven’t heard him say a peep about the name fuss re: Ms. Martinez Atzberger. What do you suppose his position is on that matter?

I wonder whom the PD will endorse. The Sun endorsed Milton Jefferson – never heard of him.

    Hi, Jill! I dissed the PD’s endorsement of Espy over Sikora here. I’ve never read anything so absurd.

    Jennifer Martinez Atzberger’s campaign manager told me that as of Tuesday they had collected a lot of signatures but need many more by the end of the month to qualify.

    Hey Jeff! We JUST cross-posted, like, in the last two minutes. Too funny.

    Ok – e-mail me and fill me in on JMA’s situation – contacts, etc. Thanks!

    Another question, kind of out of nowhere: why does Sherrod Brown keep staring at me? I’ve been at two recent events where he was present and happened to walk near me, and each time he stared like he thought I was someone he knows (and doesn’t like).

    So who do I look like?
