Elect Ari Symons for Judge

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

During my 25 years spent in and around courtrooms - eleven years right here in Santa Cruz County - I developed a passion for justice and learned much about what it takes to be a great judge. Our bench here is full of smart talented judges, with the court composed of eight men and two women.

One of our judges is expected to retire this spring and I decided to throw my briefcase in the ring: to ask you - the voters of Santa Cruz County - to take a close look at the candidates and their qualifications, because I think you'll find I have the right combination of education, experience and community dedication to effectively represent our community as a judge.

Throughout my career I have worked hard as an attorney, educator, and dedicated community volunteer to develop the skills and experience necessary to be an effective judge. My experience in these areas include:

Eleven years as Assistant District Attorney in Santa Cruz County
Four years as an Assistant District Attorney in North Carolina
Four years as an Assistant United States Attorney in Washington D.C.
Guest lecturer at attorney training seminars (civil and criminal) in California, North Carolina and nationally
Adjunct Professor at Wake Forest University School of Law
Member, Board of Directors, New Life Services, Inc.
Member, Board of Directors, Shakespeare Santa Cruz
Founder, Project Pajamas

I hope you will take some time to explore my website and learn more about my qualifications to serve as a Superior Court Judge in Santa Cruz County. I believe that my experience as an attorney, educator and community volunteer make me uniquely qualified for this position. As judge I will bring unparalleled experience in the courtroom, devotion to community service, and a passion for justice.

To be successful in this campaign I will need your help. I am asking for your vote and that you support me by endorsing my campaign for Superior Court Judge in Santa Cruz County.

Sincerely,

Ariadne Symons for Judge
