This is a newspaper article about the election process of the judicial branch. Judges run for positions and hope to be chosen. This article is about Thomas Kilbride campaign for the position of chief justice.

In my opinion, judges should not be treated as a candidate.The best person should win, based on experience. A judges job is to enforce laws. They should be fair and not biased. Many times, people focus on the negative things that others have done, such as is in this article. I believe that the good should outweigh the bad. If everyone focuses on the good, the bad would not be that noticeable. As long as Kilbride is able the enforce laws properly and not biased, he deserves a chance in this position.
