SUMMARY:Oppose SB 302, Require partisan general elections for judges
DESCRIPTION:Raise your voice for a better Montana by testifying on this bill. Write out your comments in advance, then follow the link to sign up to testify or submit written comment\nWhat: SB 302, Require partisan general elections for judges\nPosition: DO NOT SUPPORT\nWhen: Monday, February 20th @ 3pm\nWhere: Senate State Administration Committee -Room 335 –  Sign up to testify or submit written comment\nTalking Points:\n\n\nAllows candidates for a non-partisan race to indicate a political party affiliation on a declaration for nomination and to have that appear on the ballot\n\n\nJudges don’t wear red robes or blue robes, they wear black robes because they are there to uphold the rule of law\n\n\nBills like this weaken the legitimacy of the courts – people feel like they wouldn’t get a fair shake because a judge may be pandering to a partisan base rather than making rulings according to law.\n\n\nAllowing judges to declare political affiliation on the ballot only misleads the public into thinking that politics is part of the job description, when it is not.\n\nFind my legislator: https://leg.mt.gov/map/ ( https://leg.mt.gov/map/ )\nSend Your Legislator a Message: https://leg.mt.gov/web-messaging/ ( https://leg.mt.gov/web-messaging/ )\nPublic Testimony: https://leg.mt.gov/public-testimony/ ( https://leg.mt.gov/public-testimony/ )\n
