My name is __________. I am calling to voice my support for the Center for the Rights & Protection of Children’s, ‘Vote for Judges’ initiative, which seeks to amend Virginia’s constitution to allow the public to elect district and circuit court judges. Currently, Virginia is one of only two states where judges are appointed solely by the General Assembly, a process that lacks direct public involvement. Implementing judicial elections would enhance transparency, increase accountability, bolster public trust, and reduce the potential for bias inherent in the current system. I urge you to support and sponsor this constitutional amendment to empower Virginians in the judicial selection process.
