Name : Ronda Colvin-Leary
Candidate For : Gwinnett State Court Judge
Campaign Platform : I am running for Gwinnett State Court Judge because I believe the foundations of a strong society are based upon Family, Community and Justice. As a child, I was always taught to treat everyone right, no matter what. Being a mother of two, a wife and a small business owner, I am actively involved in the community and in tuned with the issues in the community. I believe in fairness and equality for everyone. Everyone has a voice and your voice deserves to be heard. I believe when the judicial bench has judges from different backgrounds, perspectives, education and experiences, you have fairer justice. I am aware that when a person is affected by the justice system, it not only affects the individual but also the individual's family. When the family is affected, the community, in turn, is affected. I am committed to community and dedicated to justice.
