Judges ... from Bonnie
Hi everyone. Sorry I didn't get this information
out to you earlier but it's been hard to come by! Based on the scant
information out there, I'm going to vote for Garry Haehnle and Evan Patrick
Kirvin.
Good luck,
Bonnie
Office No. 3 Blaine
Bowman, unopposed - no website, no phone number, no
information
Office No. 19
Garry Haehnle
http://www.haehnleforjudge.com/index.html,
includes list of endorsements including Christine Kehoe which I found
particularly interesting
endorsed by Union Tribune, http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080501/news_lz1ed1top.html
619-890-7236, answered his phone and was gracious
(which I found later to be in stark contrast to the other candidates!), I asked
him about his views on a woman's right to choose (which, by nature of the
position, he cannot discuss) but he did tell me that he believed in stare
decisis which means standing law rules (which seemed to me that he supports
Roe v. Wade). He also told me that he appreciated the fact that I was taking the
time to educate myself about the candidates and wished more of the voters would
follow suit.
Paul E. Cooper
not endorsed by Union Tribune
619-890-7236, did not answer his phone but later
called me (see below)
The only personal contact I had with him was that
he called me back (I had not left a message) using his list of received calls
but would only identify himself after I asked him four times. Not good people
skills! After I found out that I was speaking to Paul Cooper, I went on to ask
him about a woman's right to choose and he told me the standard answer and
refered me to his endorsements. I then asked him to tell me more about how he
distinguishes himself from his opponent. He didn't say much and was basically
unenthusiastic about the prospect of speaking with a voter. Bottom line: may or
may not be a good judge but certainly not interested in campaigning
Office No. 45
Evan Patrick
Kirvin

619-392-4054, did not answer his phone
Robert Faigin
619-402-0880, answered his phone but did not want
to talk with me because he was outside and wanted me to call back later even
though I had immediately identified myself as a voter. He was clearly not
enthusiastic about talking to me. Still trying to call him back.
