If you\u2019ve listened to the show long enough, then you know Hunter has consistently advocated for more public defenders to become judges. With their insight into the legal system, communities can stand to gain so much by having a bench with more diverse job experience. Today, Hunter is joined by three L.A. public defenders who are all running for Superior Court Judgeships in Los Angeles County. Ericka Wiley, George Turner, and Kim Repecka know that their careers as public defenders make them uniquely qualified to serve as judges and ensure justice, fairness, and compassion for every person who might stand before them. \xa0 Guests: Ericka Wiley, Public Defender and Candidate for Superior Court Judge Seat 48, Los Angeles \xa0 \xa0 George Turner, Public Defender and Candidate for Superior Court Judge Seat 39, Los Angeles \xa0 \xa0 Kim Repecka, Public Defender and Candidate for Superior Court Judge Seat 124, Los Angeles \xa0 \xa0 Resources: Ericka Wiley Contact https://wileyforjudge.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Ericka-Wiley-For-Judge-2024/61553248058723/ https://www.instagram.com/wiley4judge/ https://www.tiktok.com/@erickawileyforjudge2024 \xa0 \xa0 George Turner Contact https://georgeaturner4judge.com/ GeorgeTurner4Judge@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/turner4judge/ \xa0 \xa0 Kim Repecka Contact https://kimrepeckaforjudge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kimrepeckaforjudge/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=0b2d1af0-961f-4311-8352-530c5589f562 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 Contact Hunter Parnell: Publicdefenseless@gmail.com Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN
