For the June election, there will also be 3 Superior Court Judge candidates on the ballot: Tamiza Hockenhull, Pelayo Llamas, and Michael Bishay. They’ve each filed for different seats and currently they’re all unopposed, although in theory someone might file to run against them today (which is the deadline).

At the end of the day, if elected, none of these candidates will actually DO anything to uplift their communities. They will be in perpetual campaign and fundraising mode. None will actually shake up the status quo, especially when they become part of it
