Judge Dave Larson is joining me here today to discuss the critical role of the judiciary in democracy, the importance of educating the public about judicial races, and the ethical boundaries judges must navigate. He emphasizes the need for judges to apply the law as written, rather than legislating from the bench, and highlights the challenges of judicial selection and campaign finance. We’re also touching on the need for reform in the judicial election process in order to enhance public awareness and trust in the judiciary. In this conversation, Judge Larson highlights the role of education in fostering civic responsibility and the necessity of active participation in democracy to combat tyranny and ensure freedom. This conversation is straight fire! You won’t want to miss it.  SPONSOR: Thank you to TUVU for sponsoring our podcast today!
