Answer from Gus Gomez:

I look forward to continuing my record of public service as a superior court judge. I've served as a prosecutor and elected official; now, I believe I can do more as a public servant from the bench.

Answer from Lori Jones:

I believe our community needs judges who will maintain the highest ethical standards and treat all litigants with respect. As a judge, I will maintain these standards and I will not be swayed by race, religion, or economic, or political pressure. I will base my decisions on the merits of each case and I will follow the law. I believe our judges should reflect the diversity of our community and should have life experiences that mirror those of the parties before them.

Answer from Gus Gomez:

I'm qualified to serve based on the breadth of my experience as both a civil and criminal prosecutor. In addition, I have significant quasi-judicial experience.

Answer from Lori Jones:

I have been the lead prosecutor in over a hundred serious felony trials. In every case, I have strived to be fair and to treat everyone, including the defendants, with respect. I am an intelligent, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and experienced criminal prosecutor, and I will bring these same qualities to the bench.
