Judges Who Have Earned our Vote ARLO KALLEMEYN Next Tuesday March 18 is the day we are able to vote for people who will represent us. There w i l l be ca nd idates for G o v e r n o r, S t a t e R e p, State Senator and others. A f ter you get done voting for your favorite candidates, you will see a list of judges. Qualified judges often have a bigger impact on our daily lives t hat a ny ot her elected of f icia ls. T hey ma ke decisions regarding traffic violations, misdemeanors and felonies – the serious crimes. Judges decide on probation, length of prison time and bond levels. I encou rage you to vote for 2 judge ca nd idates w ho have made a big difference in the lives of Cook Count y residents. The first is Al Swanson. Judge Swanson decides cases in foreclosure court. These are people who are losing their homes due to many different reasons. However, t hey a ll have one t h i ng i n com mon. They are going through a f i na ncia l cr i si s t hat will impact their family for many years to come. Few t h i ngs i n l i fe a re a s t rau mat ic a s losi ng you r home. I v isited w it h Judge Sw a n son for a few moments last week and asked him how he ma kes decisions i n these difficult cases. He repl ied, “My fa it h a nd belief in the Golden Rule guides my decisions. I’m no Solomon, but I treat ever yone the way that I
would want to be treated in a similar situation. I strive for empathy, caring a nd e sp e c i a l l y t a k i ng the time to listen to the personal stories of those who are in my courtroom. When people go through a foreclosure they have hit a brick wall of economic ha rdship. I wa nt to be a judge w ho s e e s t he hu ma n element i n t he cases before me.” A l is highly recommended by many organizations and I encourage you to vote for Judge Al Swanson - Punch #142. T he second judge candidate is William ‘Bill’ Raines. Bill Raines has many years of courtroom e x p e r ie nc e a s b ot h a prosecutor and defense attorney. While he was a police officer, Bill studied law - and earned his law degree after being shot in the line of duty. Bill says, “I am especially sensitive to how the court system impacts the lives of the p e ople it s er v e s . T he decisions made i n t he courtroom have an impact that can last for years. I will serve with caring and commitment to those who appear before my bench.” I encourage you to vote for Bill Raines – Punch #154. Tha n ks for reading my adv ice, a nd plea se remember – v ot i ng i s ou r pr iv i le ge a nd ou r right. Let’s not waste this opportunity. Arlo Kallemeyn Shopper Publisher and big fan of qualified judges.
