Dear friends,
I like to think that I pay close attention, but my Borough President wrote to my partner and not to me, so I didn’t realize that there are judges on the ballot in Brooklyn.
The Board of Elections has an inelegant three-step process for finding out what’s on the ballot where you live:
First, go here to find out if you have a council primary. The trick is that if you know enough to know that you do not, you probably wouldn’t bother!
Then, locate your poll site. Again, if you know where you vote, you would be unlikely to do this.
Once you get to the page with your poll site, you can hit the button to view your sample ballot.
Here’s what Antonio Reynoso wrote in his email:
This year, while only some districts in Brooklyn have a City Council primary on the ballot, there is a Countywide race for Civil Court Judge.
Voters often have limited information about judicial races and candidates. However, judicial races are critically important – a fair, just, and impartial criminal justice system is dependent upon having good people on the bench.
In the race for Countywide Civil Court Judge, I am proud to endorse Linda Wilson.
Linda’s experience in the courtroom and communities of Brooklyn sets her apart in the race and makes her the right choice for the bench. With over 30 years of experience, Linda has served in various legal capacities within every level of court in New York City. Her breadth of knowledge and experience make her wholly qualified for the position of Civil Court Judge.
A passionate public servant, Linda’s work on behalf of her community extends outside of the courtroom. She is a third generation Brooklynite, mother of six, and an active member of her Park Slope/Prospect Heights community.
If you didn’t hear from Antonio Reynoso and you are a Brooklyn voter, please email him at info@reynosoforbrooklyn.com to let him know!
It’s helpful to know who endorses the judges, since these races are under the radar. Please remember to vote!
Back later with good news!
with love,
L
