Important Information about LA County's New Election Procedure

There's more than just the change in the date of the Primary Election from its traditional first Tuesday in June to March 3, 2020. I was fortunate to be invited to an informational meeting hosted by the WLA Democratic Club where Dean Logan, the LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, explained all that is new.

Deputy District Attorney David Berger to run for Judge of the Superior Court in 2020

I am very pleased to announce that I have, today, filed the necessary paperwork with the Los Angeles County Registrar/Recorder to run for Office No. 80, one of the 12 open seats for Judge of the Superior Court in the March 3, 2020 Primary Election.

My decision to run was made easier by the many messages I received in the past few days from the many good people who have encouraged me to enter the race.

The Primary Election is much earlier than in previous years, however, I am confident that I can meet the challenge and I look forward to running a spirited campaign.

I am very grateful for the tremendous support I received in the past, and it is my sincere hope that my candidacy will attract the support and approval of the electorate.
