SERVING ORANGE COUNTY

Why does your vote for County Court Judge matter ?

The County level Judge hears the most serious criminal cases in the county.

How does this impact the average person?

Healing our communities and handling the multiple crises we currently face is going to take new ideas. We have tried the “war on drugs”, mandatory minimums, and many other punitive measures in the past.

This method isn’t working. It’s time for something new.

Judge Trachte is the ideal candidate to take us into the future. He created a new specialty court in Newburgh: a Mental Health court. Instead of mentally ill neighbors ending up in jail, this court gets them into monitored treatment, assistance, and coaching. This method aids people in becoming healthy, productive citizens, and costs you, the taxpayer, less.
