Even with all the other elections going on, there are still judicial elections to consider. The Minnesota Bar Association has added a website so that consumers can get information on each of the candidates.
The Academy of Certified Trial Lawyers, of which I am a member , is now out with our endorsements:
The 2018 ACTLM Judicial Endorsement Committee has endorsed the following
candidates for the November general election:
Supreme Court: Margaret Chutich
Court of Appeals: Lucinda Ellen Jesson
1st District, Court 2: Arlene M. Asencio Perkkio
2nd District, Court 2: DeAnne Hilgers
2nd District, Court 11: Scott Michael Flaherty
2nd District, Court 14: Robyn Ann Millenacker
2nd District, Court 28: Elena L. Ostby
These are elections that affect each of our daily lives as much as any of the others. There still hasn’t been too much money spent on Judicial races in this state, as compared to some of the battles that have taken place elsewhere. It is important that we maintain an independent judiciary that is responsive to the rights of all consumers. The election of levelheaded judges contributes to that effort.
