Judicial Elections Campaign Conduct

The legitimacy of the judicial process depends, in large measure, on public trust and
confidence that judges approach all matters with open minds, without preconceived notions of
who should prevail or why, and, above all, with a commitment to decide every case as the facts
and law require, regardless of their personal or political beliefs. Every person and entity who
comes before any judge in the State of Minnesota should and must believe that the judge will
apply the law fairly and consistently to them, notwithstanding their background, economic status,
or affiliations. Read full statement.
