Vic Stull can’t run from the voters forever…….
This election year I have been out in the community earning your vote. My friends, family, and I are out at events talking to voters and answering the tough questions voters have about our court system.
My opponent on the other hand is sitting at home expecting your vote to come in without working for it.That is when he is not at the country club with other members of the San Bernardino political establishment who expect voters to just keep the status quo.
I have participated in no fewer than 4 public forums that I verified Mr. Stull was also invited to participate. I welcome the opportunity for voters to contrast our skills and most importantly our temperaments when it comes to this position. Mr. Stull has stayed home.
The last ten years I have volunteered my time on the bench as a substitute judge on the family court bench. Mr. Stull has had this very same opportunity, but did not feel that he owed it to our community to take on this training and develop a record of conduct on the bench among his colleagues before running in this election.
Yesterday Mr. Stull made what I believe to be his one public appearance in this campaign since I declared my candidacy. He spoke at the Redlands Country club. I exhausted every effort to work with the meeting organizers directly. Despite my request to be a part of this forum and have equal time to present why I am the better candidate for judge, I have been shut out. Clearly my speech would have been more dynamic compared to Vic’s presentation. This is why he made sure I was not there.
Ask who does Mr. Stull think he needs to be protected from? Is it the voters?
This election year we even have a candidate for judge in another race facing protesters when he goes out in public, but even judge Lemkau is making more of an effort to meet with voters than Mr. Stull.
Does Mr. Stull need to be protected from another distinguished member of the legal community? A man who has to hide from his opponent in the campaign clearly shows a lack of ability to manage conflicts. Judges who can’t manage conflicts, can’t manage a courtroom, and can’t face the contentious nature of litigants in the court.
I can assure Mr. Stull that I am many times more professional, courteous, and restrained than the many self represented litigants that come before the San Bernardino courts who are frustrated, yet deserve the opportunity to have a fair hearing.
Our courts see people on the worst days of their lives, and deserve compassion. The courthouse is not a country club and our community is ill served by jurists who believe it should be a place where the priviledged hold all the power and the common man has no rights.
Our courts serve all walks of life. I am proud to have worked my way up from a modest upbringing to where I am today always understanding that the dignity of an individual before me is not measured by their bank account or the clothes on their back.
Voters ask yourself: where is Vic Stull?
Don’t vote for a man who thinks the only worthy voters are the country club voters. Our courts have too many judges who sit in judgment of our community, without ever participating in it.
Remember to use your head and vote for Ed.
