Ramona Salvarez Case Study

Bringing in new judges will allow for different thought patterns and views on certain problems. In addition, “a different perspective can permit you to more fully understand the arguments that are before you and help you articulate your position in a way that everyone will understand” (Sotomayor, 2016). Furthermore, newer judges would relieve others of the concern that the judges are unfortunately unable to keep up with the current society and their needs. As a result, newer judges will be able to notice the issues that the current society may be needed to be

If you think that this is an odd way to elect our judges, you are not alone. Even the former chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court, Wallace Jefferson is a misguided way to elect our judges. (Horwitz). One major drawback for this is with the people who vote in the election, more often time than not do not have adequate information to give a well-informed vote. Most of the time, if people do not have a lot information about all the candidates on the ballot, then they nearly every time vote for the name they know which is the name running for re-election. For the voters who do this they might possibly be jeopardizing a better person qualified for the position, but they do not realize this because of the lack of information that they have access

Mrs. Martinez is a lady colored in achievements. First of all, achieving the position of Governor is an honor and huge achievement in its own. She was elected in 2010 and still serves as governor today. Another huge accomplishment is that she was New Mexico’s first female Governor. Every other Governor before her was male so her election was important in the fact that women can be in power too. She also has another similar accomplishment, but this one is more personal because she was the first to achieve it. She was the first Hispanic Woman to achieve the title of Governor in the whole United States of America. This is amazing because not only was she the first female governor, but she was also the first Hispanic woman in the nation. Susana Martinez has so many accomplishments in the little time that she has been working as governor. From the beginning of her career as the governor of New Mexico, she started to fix money situations that were happening in New Mexico. She did this in one way by helping balancing the budget of the state. She did this by increasing around 82,000 government personnel’s pensions by 1.75 percent. She then reduced the state’s contribution by the same amount which helped to balance out the funds. Another great thing is that she is truly paying attention to the education of New Mexico. One example of this is that she is making education more of a priority in the state and she is putting funds into it. She is, in one way, putting money forth to pre-SAT’s for every tenth grader. She sees more in the students of New Mexico and she wants this amazing state to

I personally agree with the PBS Frontline episode in that partisan elections can promote corruption in the political world. Thus, I do not believe that partisan elections is a good way of selecting judges. Due to its structure, judges are elected by the people based on their likeability/appeal and political party affiliation, aspects I do not think should be the primary reasons to vote in a judge. Rather, the judge should be judged and elected based on their character and accountability as a political figurehead. Citizens want a reliable, impartial, and sustaining judge who is able to make the right decision based on the laws and current facts provided. How can a judge be impartial when working a case if a lawyer present donated a large sum to his campaign during election? I, along with the public, do not think the judge could be impartial as evident by the poll taken and found that 83% of the public believe judges are influenced by outside campaign contributions (PBS Frontline). This is the same concept found in the baseball reference of allowing an umpire, who has been paid by baseball players, to impartially referee a game (PBS Frontline). In both situations, I do not believe the judges would be able to fairly and neutrally preside over the case, making the system potentially corrupt over time and not a preferred method of selecting judges.

Kenia Calderon has been an active leader since 2013, when she became vocal about her lack of legal status to improve the lives of the undocumented youth in Des Moines. Over the last four years, she has met undocumented high schoolers to motivate and guide them as they navigate the higher education system. Her fight for civil rights include fighting for low income families to have access financial institutions, access to higher education, and standing with street vendors as they fought for their rights at the city level. Kenia has lobbied for different causes that affect the most vulnerable in our city. She lobbied for credit unions to not be regulated like banks because these financial institutions have efforts around serving the unbanked

The person running for governor needs to be at least 30, he or she needs to be a US citizen, and they need to have been a resident of New Mexico consistently for five years on the day of the election (Governor of New Mexico, 2014). In 2010 Susana Martinez ran for this position. She met all of the requirements and her name was placed on the ballot. Susana is a republican and she promised things such as: a strict policy on illegal immigration, improving education in public schools, cut wasteful spending, and to lower taxes to create more jobs (Mora, 2010). These things ultimately got her elected. Susana has been in office for four years now and is preparing to run again to keep her position as governor of New Mexico. Most people would say that Susana’s biggest downfall was her derogatory words and degrading remarks regarding the teachers in New

Mayor Muriel Bowser, the District’s seventh elected Mayor, was sworn in on January 2, 2015. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Chatham University and a Master’s degree in Public Policy from American University.

She has represented the 12th district for twenty-nine years. The committees she serves are relevant to her district because San Francisco is an urban city with a majority of middle class and poor. She is responsive to her constituents because she serves under the Better Deal committee. She acknowledges that in order for San Francisco to prosper a better future is a necessity, therefore, the Better deal committee strives to “[create] millions of good-paying, full-time jobs” and “Lower the costs of living for families.” She serves a diverse population of “44% white, 30% Asian, 15% Latino, 5% Black” and knows that education is important for them to prosper.

I had a feeling you would respond aunt Ramona Aceves because your in the field. I just believe you don't have to be apart of war or apart of any police department to know that killing is wrong. Being someone who was molested and harassed by an officer for no reason other then my cars license plate was typed in wrong and came up as stolen a few years back, I know that there are still bad cops in the world and although I hate that these bad ones seem to out way the good ones....they do. That's the police departments fault for not taking action on the several that suffer from some sort of PTS and still legally hold a gone. Things escalate too quickly these days. My dad said in the old school days people would just get beat with batons and pepper

There are many problems in the world and i’m exposing them. The first problem is that some schools or maybe even all of them have no urinal wall. The last problem I have in my mind is animal abuse. Those are the problems I have with the community today.

For some seeing is believing, but for a militant atheist that may not be the case. Eighteen year old Adrian Luz is a freshman at Yale University. His life seeme to be on a healthy course after surviving child abuse until he starts to see spirits. It started after a ritual, he overheard while at his ex-girlfriend’s house. The vengeful spirits torment his mind and pressure him to let them in. As the school year passes it gets harder for him to rationalize what he is experiencing. His alternative explanation is the episodes are relative to his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Yet, he is in denial about being mentally ill. Adrian must learn to cope with his psychosis or shift his views about the

How is your role in government the same as an elected official?My role is the mostly the same as an elected official because we both have the power to check each other’s (checks and balances) to make sure that we are all doing our part and none of us how more power than the other.
