ELECTION UPDATE! DENNIS HAYASHI WINS SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE RACE! Dennis Hayashi won the Alameda County Superior Court Judge race yesterday, obtaining 61% of the vote in the November 4th election. Dennis garnered 222,457 votes – a resounding victory based on a campaign for fairness and on his longtime experience as a public interest attorney. “I want to thank the Alameda County voters for their support and for making their voices heard in this important election,” said Dennis. “I feel honored and privileged to have been elected, and I pledge to move forward with my promise of promoting a fair judiciary, and work for the betterment of our Alameda County community.” The November election served as a run-off for the open seat that was vacated by retired Judge Kenneth Kingsbury. Judges serve for six-year terms.
TRI-VALLEY LEADERS ENDORSE DENNIS HAYASHI FOR JUDGE
“Dennis spent three decades defending and upholding women’s equality,” stated Representative Tauscher. “As Director of the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, he fought for equal pay for women and defended those who experienced discrimination on the job. Dennis has the integrity and experience to promote fairness and ensure justice in our Superior Court.” Congresswoman Tauscher is serving her sixth term representing the 10th Congressional District, which includes Livermore and other parts of Alameda County. She is a leader on transportation issues, working to revitalize California’s infrastructure, as well as on homeland security, being the only member of Congress to represent two national defense laboratories – Lawrence Livermore and Sandia California. Based in Pleasanton, Congressman McNerney represents the 11th District and serves on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, as well as the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. An energy technology expert, he is dedicated to environmental issues and serves on the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. Both Representative Tauscher and Representative McNerney believe that Dennis is the best candidate to represent Alameda County, and will bring experience, fairness, and integrity to the bench.
