LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sydne Michel for Judge 2018 today issued the following statement:

The Metropolitan News-Enterprise, a leading daily newspaper for the Los Angeles County legal community, has condemned judicial candidate Patricia "Patti" Hunter for poor ethical behavior during her race for judge in Los Angeles County.

Says the Metropolitan News-Enterprise newspaper:

Candidate Seeks to Skirt New Law Curbing Misleading Ballot Designations

Judicial candidate Patricia Hunter, a Los Angeles deputy city attorney, has plainly established her unfitness for election to the Los Angeles Superior Court. Harsh words? Yes. But, we submit, they're warranted.

We decry the duplicity on the part of the Los Angeles city attorney and, of course, the role played by Hunter in the campaign chicanery.

The conduct reflects a lower level of integrity than is expected of a judge—or, for that matter, a lawyer.

Our endorsement in the primary went to [Sydne Jane] Michel. We are now all the more convinced that she is the better candidate—by far the better candidate. Michel possesses dignity, intelligence, and integrity.

Candidate Sydne Jane Michel is endorsed by over 100 organizations and individuals from across the political spectrum – including the Los Angeles Times, Metropolitan-News Enterprise, dozens of prestigious law enforcement groups, prosecutors' and public safety associations, judges, minority and women lawyers' associations, unions and other groups and associations from across the political spectrum. These groups examined the credentials of both candidates and concluded that prosecutor Sydne Jane Michel is the preferred and recommended candidate for judge in Los Angeles County.
