With primary ballots set to start arriving in mailboxes next week, it’s time to talk about some of the contested judicial primary races featured on that ballot. We welcome your comments on the qualifications of the candidates as well as any information you can offer to help voters make an educated decision. Just remember to keep your comments appropriate and try to avoid defamation.
For District Court Judge, Department 21, the candidates are:
- Caesar Almase
- Tara Clark Newberry
- Bruce L. Gale
- Jacob Reynolds
What are your thoughts on the race in this department?
When Bruce Gale sheds his mortal coil (hopefully not for many years) his tombstone will read:
"Vote Bruce Gale for District Court Judge"
Jacob Reynolds is a damn good guy. And he speaks spanish, have you seen those commercials?
I second Jacob Reynolds.
I will vote for Jacob Reynolds. Good guy and no bull@#$t.
Almase will be a fine judge, and easy on the eyes.
Not like the BK Hottie, though.
He is hotter than Gina Bongiovi. I swing both ways.
I agree, he can't defeat the BK Hottie, but easily smites Gina with his intelligent eyes and full smile.
It's a shame physical appearance, rater than legal ability, is being focused on here, but I guess that does reflect the reality of how many people vote for these races.
Looks matter. Good looking people live a better life and tend to have a better disposition. I don't want an ugly judge who is bitter. I want the hot judge who has had a good life.

Miley wasn't that bad. The downside to being good looking is that you get the uglies criticizing you because they are jealous. I'd take Miley over Israel any day.
Yes, Jacob will make a great judge.
I'm liberal and an ex-mormon and I'm voting for Jacob Reynolds. He'll be a fantastic addition to the bench.
I'm moderate an an ex-mormon and I'm voting for Reynolds. The dude is put together and will be a great addition to the bench.
I think Reynolds is a good guy. But he is overtly political. Sure everyone has political preferences, but he goes above and beyond into the reactionary conservative interventionist territory.
I don't know him from Adam, but your post suggests I should consider voting for him afterall. Is he LDS? Or, more importantly, does he have MREs in his home. That will seal it for me.
A HELL NO for Tara Clark Newberry.
How come? I’m completely undecided on this race.
how come?
Ceasar is solid, good demeanor and understands the workings of a judicial department. Can't say that for even the best civil attorneys out there. They tend to isolate once they get into their department (Crockett comes to mind). We need more judges that are willing to bridge the gap between departments…they aren't elected to run their own little departmental kingdom. Ceasar can play well with others (play well enough that is, lawyers argue – it's what they do). This is what makes the Phil era PD's good candidates because he required them to be decent people in the courtroom. Not the case with Wolfson. Running the DA's with a "it's not what you know, but who you know" attitude brings hostile results as seen in too many DA's, but some still find a way to be unaffected by this and are also great candidates.
