In the following judicial races, we endorse the following individuals for election and urge the rejection of two appeals court judges:
Circuit Court Judge, Group 18: Jessica Maureen Marra
County Court Judge, Group 10: Samuel Ford Stark
Shall Judge Burton C. Conner be retained in office? NO
Shall Judge Jeffrey T. Kuntz be retained in office? NO
In the Fourth District Court of Appeal, we ask voters to reject Jeffrey T. Kuntz for being affiliated with extremist group The Federalist Society. Similarly, we urge voters to reject Burton C. Conner for being affiliated with a number of extremist conservative groups such as the Family Planning Council and Florida Family Action.
Endorsements are the viewpoints of The County's Editorial Board members Elijah Manley, and Luc Saint-Genies. Endorsement may or may not reflect the personal beliefs and preferences of individual members of the Editorial Board, or The County's writers.
