Why is Gilliam doing this?

He’s not. According to the article, Guillium is doing this. I believe that is pronounced as the Cajuns would utter such a name.

because it is a sure loss, there are many other weaker opponents, seems like only logical reason would be to force opponent to work because you are mad she is tough on crime

He’s literally doing nothing to campaign – just like Villani and whoever put in against Weise (I literally couldn’t even tell you his name)

Apparently the RJ has endorsed McLeod. Probably does not make up for the total lack of fundraising etc. Wish someone with a little more support had run for that slot. Not a great fan of either candidate.

This is the R/J raising the value of its JtJ Poll over its actual interviews. McLeod is a joke of a candidate who was lured into the the race by a disgruntled litigant who promised her six figures in donations and then turned out to be a flake. Hence she has almost no campaign. It is perfectly fair to be critical of Kishner’s demeanor. However no one who know Kishner and McLeod would believe McLeod will be the better judge.

This is the head-scratcher endorsement from them to be sure. You’d be hard-pressed to find a candidate to actually endorse over Kishner.

I’ve always loved Kishner because she actually follows the rules. I’m so sick of the patty cake back door bullshit in this town. Some of these judges let friendships and donors dictate decorum in their courtrooms and it’s beyond disheartening.
