JUDICIAL-SAFE CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE
QUESTIONS SENT TO EVERY CANDIDATE
Judicial candidates receive a separate questionnaire designed to avoid requests for case promises, predicted rulings, comments on pending matters, or statements that could compromise judicial independence or impartiality.
Each qualified candidate in this race received the same judicial-safe questions and the same response deadline.
QUESTION 01 / QUALIFICATIONS
What professional experiences and qualifications have prepared you to serve as a District Judge?
QUESTION 02 / ROLE OF THE COURT
In general terms, what are the core responsibilities of a District Judge, and what should voters understand about the court’s role?
QUESTION 03 / FAIRNESS AND INDEPENDENCE
How do you understand the importance of impartiality, independence, dignity, and equal treatment in judicial service?
QUESTION 04 / COURT ACCESS
Without discussing particular cases, what can the court do to help people understand court procedures, public resources, and the limits of the court’s role?
QUESTION 05 / COURT ADMINISTRATION
What professional skills would help you manage a court’s docket, staff, and public-facing operations fairly and efficiently?
QUESTION 06 / VOTER CONTEXT
Is there a factual qualification, professional experience, or public-service record you want voters to understand in context?
RESPONSE DEADLINE
Friday, September 18, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. CDT
After the deadline, each candidate will be labeled either Response Received or No Response Received. Conveaux Media will not solicit pledges, predicted rulings, discussion of pending matters, or statements that could compromise judicial independence or impartiality.
