"Each time I vote I see lists of people running for judge. I don't vote for any of them. That's because I never have any rational basis to choose one over the other. Last weekend, for the first time in my life, I found a reason to vote FOR one of the candidates, Annrae Angel." Full Letter at Blog: http://annraeangel.com/blog

Paul Upton, San Jose Attorney

"The community would be well-served in electing Annrae to this judicial seat. I have had the pleasure of knowing Annrae for several years. I have been co-counsel with her on several very challenging cases. Annrae's temperament, experience and knowledge of the law are among the attributes that will make her an excellent judge."

Geoffrey Braun, San Jose Attorney

"I strongly believe Annrae Angel would make a wonderful judge. Annrae came to work with me to assist with penalty phase preparation in a death penalty case in 1993. The case had to be tried twice and lasted until 1997.

Annrae was of invaluable assistance to me. She maintained a wonderful rapport with our clients who were in the direst of circumstances. Annrae found and and kept close contact with our many witnesses over several years. She conducted the examination of several of the penalty phase witnesses and rendered a moving and heartfelt closing argument on behalf of our client. She did all this while giving birth to her first child between the two trials.

In recent years Annrae has become a very active trial attorney and a vigorous advocate for those she represents. I know her to be a fair and balanced person and an empathetic and compassionate one towards both victims and people criminally accused."
