The Southern California News Group has compiled a questionnaire to select candidates for the June 2026 primary election. The questionnaire includes questions about the judicial philosophy of Anna Slotky Reitano, a former trial attorney at the public defender’s office and now deputy county counsel in the Justice and Safety Division. Reitsano's judicial philosophy is grounded in fairness, respect for the rule of law, and commitment to treating all parties with dignity. Her goal is to foster trust in the courtroom by making decisions that are fair, transparent and firmly rooted in the law. She also emphasized the importance of balancing competing perspectives and avoiding assumptions or bias.
