For District Court Judge, Department 3, the candidates are:
- Adam Ganz
- Michael J. Miceli
- Monica Trujillo
What are your thoughts on the race in this department?
I'm voting for Adam Ganz.
I am not voting for Adam Ganz
Ganz is already spending television money
Ganz is being bankrolled big time. Take a look at his C and E Campaign Report.
I have a history with one of these candidates and I have strong opinions. However, I want to see what the rest of you think before I chime in. It's possible that my opinions are the outlier and I wouldn't want to speak out of turn.
Ganz.
Bankrolled and you told your law firm employees who to vote for. No Ganz.
Ganz is the way to go in this one. Trujillo is running on a platform of experience in court and being death penalty certified, but what I heard is that she is on a Justice Court track, not a District Court track, never first chaired a murder trial, and never did a death penalty trial.
All of what you say here about Trujillo is correct. She has very little real experience. Everything she has done has been as a second-chair where the other lawyer does the real work. She has precisely one thing going for her: she has a beautiful face. And I predict Trujillo will win.
Justice Court track vs. District Court track? Whoever said this clearly does not know what they are talking about. Trujillo is at the Special Public Defender, she's not a track attorney. And the SPD doesn't do "tracks" so that's all nonsense.
She was formerly a PD, but that office also doesn't have Justice Court vs. District Court tracks. They have vertical representation where they pick up a case in JC and follow it all the way through sentencing. That system is tracked, but no attorney stays just in JC.
She's done many trials, I can't comment on whether it was as first or second chair.
I'm guessing that Ganz's supporters are primarily plaintiff PI. Does anyone from outside that sphere have any opinions?
Does anyone have any actual experience (positive or negative) with Ganz, Trujillo, or Miceli? Compared to the other discussions, there's a noticeable lack of comments about these candidates.
