The El Paso County Democratic Party recommends a Yes vote on Amendment H, and trust me, this one is all about restoring faith in our judicial system. Amendment H seeks to clean up the murky waters of judicial discipline by increasing transparency and reducing the influence judges have over their colleagues’ discipline. Let’s be real—when the fox is guarding the henhouse, it’s time to change the system. This measure promises greater independence, accountability, and a more open process for handling judicial misconduct.
By setting clear standards for judicial discipline, enhancing complainant rights, and ensuring confidentiality where necessary, this amendment is a step toward making our courts more transparent and trustworthy. A Yes vote means moving our judicial system away from self-regulation and giving the public a judicial process they can believe in.
