I don't think your information is quite accurate. Zimmerman has some 20 years with the EEOC, but he seldom presented cases, he prepared them for presentation. Highly thoughtful and intelligent is not a bad thing and O'Neil can also claim to be both. EEOC cases are more often an intellectual exercise. The cases which come before a Hennepin County Judge are a lot grittier and closer to the ground. That's where O'Neil shines.

I suppose that Julie Delgado O'Neill can handle being judge (although I hope that her agenda from being a city attorney is not to fill up the jail with low-level misdemeanor offenders), but I cannot understand why the incumbent Lloyd Zimmerman should be unseated. His background consists of many years as a trial attorney with the EEOC prosecuting complex discrimination cases, and is highly thoughtful and intelligent. I tried to ask Julie why she was running against Zimmerman, but unfortunately it was at the city attorney's office so she could not go into detail. Can someone please explain?

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.
