“People truly want independence. They are tired of politics, particularly in the courts. They want to believe they have a fair chance. That’s why I’m running for the Supreme Court.” 

COLUMBUS, OH – As extreme partisan politics frustrate Ohioans of all political backgrounds, Ohio Supreme Court candidate Judge Marilyn Zayas talked to The Vindicator about why she’s running for a seat on the state’s highest court. Zayas emphasized that “people are losing faith” in the judicial system “because of politics,” and that the “courts aren’t red or blue, they’re about you. They’re about us.”

Read more below from Judge Marilyn Zayas on why she’s running for the State Supreme Court and how “the independence, the integrity and the accountability are really what’s on the ballot for our Ohio Supreme Court this fall.”

The Vindicator: Ohio high court hopeful running for judicial independence

  • Democrat Marilyn Zayas said part of the reason she is running for a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court is “people are losing faith” in the judicial system “because of politics.”
  • Zayas, who sits on the 1st District Court of Appeals in Hamilton County, said there are issues with the “politicalization of our courts, the integrity of our courts and the independence of our courts.”
  • Zayas said, “People truly want independence. They are tired of politics, particularly in the courts. They want to believe they have a fair chance. That’s why I’m running for the Supreme Court. That’s why the independence, the integrity and the accountability are really what’s on the ballot for our Ohio Supreme Court this fall.”
  • While Zayas opposes party affiliation on the ballot for Ohio Supreme Court and courts of appeals races, she said she is “hopeful in the power of people. I’ve run these competitive races where supposedly someone like me was not supposed to be elected. But only in Ohio I believe that someone like me can be elected because Ohio truly values hard work, they value integrity, and that’s what’s going to play out in the fall. It’s not red or blue. I keep saying courts aren’t red or blue, they’re about you. They’re about us.”
