The Three Bridges Democratic Club and District Leader is proud to endorse **Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, Judge Kathleen Waterman-Marshall, Judge Hasa Kingo, Judge Christopher Chin, and Judge Betty Lugo-Martinez** for New York State Supreme Court. There are only 3 seats and these terms are for 14 years, so it was extremely important for us to vet each candidate.
Following our endorsement process, we were impressed by the breadth of experience, commitment to fairness, and dedication to public service represented by these five candidates. Each brings a distinct perspective to the bench, from public defense and community leadership to family, civil, criminal, labor, and trial law and a demonstrated understanding of the responsibility judges have to ensure that our courts remain accessible to every New Yorker.
Our club believes our judiciary should reflect the diversity of the communities it serves while maintaining the highest standards of integrity, independence, compassion, and equal justice under the law.
We are proud to support these five judges and encourage our judicial delegates to support their nominations for New York State Supreme Court.
