Lori Jones' diverse background represents the essence of what is best about Los Angeles . She is a single parent and a woman of color from the inner city, with very strong ties to the community that is most served by our judicial system. She maintains sensitivity to our city's issues but most simply has passion for the law and its proper and unbiased application. As judge, Lori Jones will maintain the highest standards of integrity, unfettered by race, religion, or political or economic pressure. She is best suited among the candidates to serve our community impartially and with an even hand based on her years in the city of Los Angeles .
