I have to second Barb's motion. Julie Delgado O'Neil has worked with us at Green Central Weed & Seed as a representative of the city attorney's office. [Weed & Seed is a federal initiative to 'weed out crime and seed in positive alternatives,' particularly for kids.] She has worked hard and pitched in where she was needed. She has several years of litigation experience as a city attorney with the kind of crimes that make livability difficult for us. Her opponent, Zimmerman (no relation to Dean), had no litigation experience before being appointed a Judge by Ventura. It makes him slow to come to decisions on the issues raised in misdemeanor criminal cases.
O'Neil, on the other hand, is very quick to understand the issues presented and doesn't fool around. She has the advantage of being bi-lingual, which is becoming more and more important. I think she's an excellent choice for judge of Hennepin County.

As long as we are endorsing judges, I hope everyone will vote for Julie Delgado O'Niell. She is currently a city attorney. She has been very visible in crime ridden neighborhoods like Phillips, Central etc.
She has a good view of criminal issues in Minneapolis from the side of the neighbors as well as with prosecution of misdimeanor crimes as a city attorney. I think she will be an asset to the court system.
