Judge John Barberis is running for a seat on the 5th District Appellate Court. Judge Baberis said that he initially wasn’t intending on running for the Appellate Court until approached by people asking if he’d be interested in running. He said after giving it some thought, he decided to run for the position for the same reasons why he ran for circuit judge.
Judge Barberis said how he wants to change this and get money and politics out of the courtroom. Judge Barberis mentioned how his opponent had recently been supported by big law firms who raised big money for his campaign, and how he refuses to take any money from law firms for his campaigns.
Judge John Barberis appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
