Most people meet the justice of the peace when something goes wrong in daily life: a rent dispute, a traffic ticket, or a child missing school. Celina Vasquez, a Democrat, is challenging for the Precinct 2 seat.
Her campaign site calls her a former Justice of the Peace, educator and bilingual public servant, but gives no dates or details of that service. She says she wants night court for people who can't miss work, more interpreters, and fair hearings for both tenants and landlords.
Judges aren't allowed to take sides on these values — it's against judicial ethics rules. The best clue to how a judge thinks is the party they run with.
