Reply #66: It would be an elected Judge in my city.

Not really a politician but I guess if you're campaigning for a seat then it's close enough. I'll have to say that she is the biggest catalyst for why I got into working on campaigns in high school. But it's not a positive story.

My mom wouldn't let me or my siblings eat junk food so when she allowed us a treat it was a big deal. I was about 8 years old at a community event and my mom bought me a snow cone. Me and my mom are walking in a crowd and someone bumps me and knocks my snow cone out of my hand. When I look I recognize the lady as a judge that I've seen on the news. She gives me an evil look as we make eye contact. She doesn't say sorry and doesn't offer to buy another snow cone. She gave me a "why did you bump into me" look. It was too crowded for me to alert my mom in time for her to see who did it but I told her what happened. That day stuck with me and I never forget it. So when I became old enough to influence others I told everyone I knew not to vote for her. I don't remember how many votes she lost by but it's easy to lose by only a hand full of votes in Judge seat elections. From then on I've worked on different campaigns.
