This Judicial Candidate forum is co-hosted by the Contra Costa County Bar Association and the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, who will be providing the moderator.

Join us for an important community event as two candidates, Judge Jesse Hsieh and Valery Polyakov, vying for Position Q of the Contra Costa County Superior Court come together to share their legal philosophies, professional experience, and vision for justice in our community.

This forum offers voters a rare and valuable opportunity to hear directly from the individuals seeking to serve as a judge in one of the most consequential seats in our local court system. Moderated by the League of Women Voters, the event will feature candidate introductions, issue-based questions, and time for audience engagement — giving attendees a well-rounded picture of who these candidates are both in and out of the courtroom.

This program is free for our community and we appreciate your RSVP in advance.
