Bryce Faberstein, who coordinates the Judicial Election Reform campaign for Common Cause Georgia, has an op-ed in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the piece he calls for public financing for candidates in judicial elections."In order to preserve the perception and reality of fairness of our courts, and to allow judicial candidates to better share their values and temperament with Georgia’s voters, all Georgians, and especially members of the state bar, should support a system of public funding for qualified judicial campaigns."
