Good work. When I worked in public access in NYC we had an initiative to drive up turnout in local elections and we also covered judge races. I handled basically the entire digital campaign on my own, and when I left years ago, the project more or less died.

Anyway, if you think this sort of work is valuable, or if you enjoy the @hellgatenyc.com site, our podcast, newsletters and events, or if you just think local reporting is important and want to support worker-owned journalism, we're only able to do any of this because of paying subscribers.

If a judge could be a superstar, Hon. John Wang is him.
