Episode Details

Washington County’s assistant judge race is heating up as incumbent Leah Murphy Jones teams up with businessman Caleb Curry to fend off challenger Anne Dielensnyder, a self-funded newcomer pouring more cash into her campaign than anyone in recent cycles. While Jones and Curry focus on social media and endorsements, Dielensnyder leverages her background in environmental work and child advocacy to connect with voters on the ground. The stakes are high: the primary winners will face Republican Ture Nelson and independent Daniel Gates in November. Though assistant judges don’t interpret law, they play a vital role in courtroom proceedings and managing county budgets — including overseeing major courthouse renovations after flooding. Dielensnyder believes her public service experience makes her uniquely qualified, while Jones emphasizes her proven track record. With yard signs, festivals, and grassroots efforts, this race is shaping up to be a fierce battle for the county’s future.
