LA County Judges

For some reason, I'm getting spam mail from the LA County Democrat Party. Die spammer die. Today I got their official endorsements: democrats all, wouldn't you know.

But one part is useful: I never know which judges to vote for, and now I know who the Democrats want:

Office No. 18 Millie Escobedo
Office No. 29 Lori Jones
Office No. 52 John Gutierrez
Office No. 53 D. Zeke Zeidler
Office No. 69 Donna Groman

So at least now I know who to vote against.

UPDATE: In a comment, Betty points out that the LA County Democrat Party might be breaking the law in endorsing judges. I'm not sure that law still operates. I seem to recall that the CA Supremes opened this up on Free Speech grounds, but my memory can be flaky. The full list of LA County Democrat endorsements are on their site.
