Re-Elect Judge Huff

I have been involved with specialty courts for over 15 years. I know these courts work hard to get individuals back on their feet in life. When an individual has a mental illness it effects the entire family. The family does not want that individual to go to jail, they want help for this loved one who is now involved in the judicial system. When I took the bench for County Court 12 and the Mental Health Court,  I was ready to work hard and improve the mental health court. I made many changes such as prosocial events for the whole family. A mentor program was also started. Small changes such as a new t-shirt for every participants, new graduation gowns, framed diplomas, gift bags, birthday cards to participants as well as  gift cards to new parents. Anything I felt would improve morale and help the participants on their new path in life was the goal. I often tell participants that when they are where they should be in life, not only do they benefit, but their family and the entire community benefits.
