The Marshall Project released staggering reports regarding our Court system here in Cuyahoga County. The headlines read:
Who’s Electing Judges in the Cleveland Area? Not Those Ensnared in the System
In Cuyahoga County, voting patterns have resulted in mostly White judges deciding the fate of mostly Black criminal defendants.
To learn more about who is seeking a candidacy for Judge and what there intentions are for your community as an elected Judge on the Bench please come out and attend the Judicial Marketplace. Register using the QR code in the flyer.
