March 17, 2010 - Press Release
The voters rightly expect that judicial candidates won't mislead them. I believe the public rightly holds us to the highest standard in our campaign statements and literature.
I wouldn't raise this issue if it was one incident, but I have now seen a concerning pattern of misleading statements from my opponent on several issues.
First, his campaign mailed a post card just days ago that purported to list the "number of
cases handled in circuit court" with a bar graph, citing CCAP as the source. My opponent must
know that CCAP doesn't show the attorney handling juvenile cases, guardianship cases, or mental
health cases, all of which I've handled over that time period. More importantly, he apparently
neglected to show the number of cases I'd handled as Circuit Court Commissioner during the same
time period. As Circuit Court Commissioner I've handled thousands of cases since 1999. I have the
court calendars to show it, and as example in 2009 I handled 1,678 cases as Circuit Court
Commissioner. In 2008 I handled 2204 cases as Circuit Court Commissioner. Even that doesn't tell
the whole story. As Assistant District Attorney I tried hundreds of cases to conclusion. His "Number
of Cases Handled in Circuit Court" bar graph distorts my significant career and experience.
Second, my opponent's campaign literature and web page claim he was a "Racine County
Prosecutor" and was a "Former Special Prosecutor - Racine County District Attorney's office."
I worked in the Racine County District Attorney's office as a prosecutor for over a decade, and never
heard of him ever working there or being appointed "special prosecutor." I checked CCAP because
it has the ability to search for cases by prosecuting attorney, and it says it has no record of him ever
being prosecutor. We did a public records request for whatever record existed in the Racine County
Circuit Court Clerk's office and the District Attorney's office of him working as a prosecutor, and
the response we received was the County has no such record. (See attached). I understand he may
claim he had one incident referred to him well over 20 years ago to prosecute a battery misdemeanor
because the victim was then an employee of the DA's office, but he never filed a case according to
court records, and he apparently just dismissed it. This record clearly does not describe an attorney
being a Racine County Prosecutor.
Third, his campaign literature claims he was a labor law lecturer at the University of
Wisconsin Parkside. We asked Parkside in a public records request, and found that school has no
record of him ever teaching at Parkside. (See attached). His campaign materials are all over the
County misleading the public on this asserted qualification. It is an important qualification issue.
I've taught constitutional law and criminal procedure at Concordia University for 15 years.
I firmly believe that as Circuit Court judge you must firmly and accurately speak the truth,
not bend or distort it. The growing pattern of misleading statements from my opponent has no place
in Wisconsin judicial elections, and is reminiscent of the "politics" as usual he says he wants to
avoid.
Georgia Herrera 262-635-2360
March 19, 2010 - Press Release
We just received the attached correction from University of Wisconsin Parkside. Apparently they dug deeper into old records in Madison and found that over 30 years ago my opponent was a lecturer at Parkside in the academic year 1977-78. I spoke with Interim Associate Provost Rome, who informed me the class appeared to be Labor Economics. I wanted you to have this as soon as I received it.
While this correction is important, it does not support the impression left by my opponent's statements at forums and the implication of his campaign brochure that this teaching experience is recent, ongoing, or significant. This is especially true when it is stacked up against my ongoing and 15 years of teaching Constitutional Law and Criminal Procedure at Concordia University.
I want this campaign to be based on facts so that the voters are fully and completely informed when they cast their ballots for their next judge.
