Today, at the Missouri Ethics Commission

The committee for an associate circuit court judge seeking reelection.

AUGUST 18, 2023
JEFFERSON CITY — Today, Governor Mike Parson announced judicial appointments to the 3rd, 11th, 31st, and 39th Judicial Circuits.

[….]

Vincent Johnson, of O’Fallon, was appointed as Associate Circuit Judge for the 11th Judicial Circuit.

It’s just less hassle for a Missouri judge to pay for their campaign out of their own pocket.

2-4 | Canon 4 – A Judge or Judicial Candidate Shall not Engage in Political or Campaign Activity Inconsistent with the Independence, Integrity or Impartiality of the Judiciary

Uh.

“…There will be a bonfire where we will burn books and ungodly artifacts…”

“…Notepads to write and burn lies of the enemy…”
