Hi everyone!
My name is Lucinda Jesson and I am a judge on the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
I am up for election this year, and I ask for your vote on November 6.
It is such a privilege to serve as judge on the Court of Appeals.
Everyone who is unhappy with the decision of a district judge or jury – and sometimes
governmental entities like counties, cities and state agencies – has the right to appeal
to our court.
So we see about everything: criminal cases, family law, child protection, contract disputes,
will contests, about every type of civil case.
There are about 2000 filings with the court of 19 judges every year.
And 95% of our decisions are final.
So our decisions touch of lot of lives.
Which is why it is such a privilege to serve you on this court.
I ask you to vote for me, Judge Jesson, for three reasons:
First, I have the breadth of legal experience that you need to face that wide variety of
cases we have on the court.
As a lawyer I have worked for individuals, businesses, governments, and law firms large
and small.
I can’t say I’ve seen it all – but I come pretty close.
And that experience has a lawyer served me well as a judge – where I have written over
150 judicial opinions over the past 2 and half years.
And if you want to see those decisions for yourself – I made it easy.
I put them up on my campaign website so that you can see how I put my legal experience
into action.
Second, I have the necessary dedication to the people of Minnesota.
Dedication demonstrated by my work as Deputy Attorney General, Chief Deputy County Attorney,
as well as five years as Commissioner of Human Services, where I headed the state’s largest
agency.
An agency that serves the most vulnerable people in our state including children, people
with disabilities, seniors and those with most pressing basic needs.
Through my work, I know citizens from every walk of life, from every part of our state.
And I continue as a judge to serve those most vulnerable Minnesotans –through my leadership
on boards like Lutheran Social Services and Interfaith Action of Greater St. Paul, as
well as personally tutoring a struggling second grader every week of school.
Finally, I have the respect and support of the leaders of the legal community that knows
the court best.
In a statewide poll, over 90% of lawyers supported me, Judge Jesson, for election.
So do former justices of the Minnesota Supreme Court including Kathleen Blatz and Alan Page,
who serve as honorary co-chairs of my campaign.
Experience.
Dedication.
Respect of the legal community.
Three good reasons to vote for Lucinda Jesson.
