Judicial campaigns: Vincent Chiu, Allison Kerestes, Fay Olga Pappas and Aldo Bartolone

Central Florida: Beyond The Soundbite

We’re less than a week away from the August election. For partisan races, it’s the primary election, but for most non-partisan races, it’s all about commissioners, council members and judges.

It’s actually a general election, so as Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles said in Beyond the Soundbite podcast a few weeks ago, “There’s a ballot for everybody.”

One set of races on the ballot can often lead to voters throwing their hands up and just blindly picking a name are the judicial races: the circuit court judges and the county court judges.

The big question is: How do you make an informed decision on who to vote for?

We’re going to try and shed a little bit of light on that in this week’s Beyond the Soundbite podcast. We have four judicial candidates who are on the ballot for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, Orange and Osceola counties.

Joining this week’s podcast are:

• Aldo Bartolone
• Judge Vincent Chiu
• Alison Kerestes
• Fay Olga Pappas
