Judge Kilbride is up for retention this time. He is a Christian and lives in the Quad Cities. I give you my impression of him as follows.
He will always act to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the U.S. He will always side with the poor, until he is certain of the truth. If a case comes before him involving a dispute between a common, ordinary person and a multinational corporation, the common person actually has a chance to win.
If this is what you want, then he is your man. Generally, both major parties fund judicial races. The higher the court, the more is spent.
