A state panel censured retired Republican Judge Steven Bailey for misconduct on Wednesday, citing the use of his judicial title and prestige of office to raise funds for and promote his unsuccessful campaign for California attorney general last year.
Republican candidate for state attorney general Steven Bailey speaks at a candidate debate in Sacramento, Calif. California's Commission on Judicial Performance on Wednesday barred former El Dorado County judge Bailey from serving on the bench or working with any state court.
“This is and was a political hit by a Democrat-dominated commission designed to damage me politically — nothing more, nothing less,” Bailey said. “I sought, received, and followed ethics advice from the California Judges Association that is now being second-guessed 10 years later."to Democratic incumbent Xavier Becerra, who received 61% of the vote.
Among its findings, the commission said Bailey attended political events at which he distributed campaign donation envelopes and cards that referred to him as a “sitting judge” and stated that his “judicial experience and his legal and legislative skills make him uniquely qualified to be California’s Attorney General in 2018.”
