I should've written this post after my out candidates piece, but the information was a little hard to come by. Victoria Kolakowski is an administrative law judge in Alameda County, California, who has bravely decided to run for Superior Court Judge in her county.
Kolakowski moved to Berkley with her former partner before they broke up. Since then she has relocated to Oakland with her wife, Cynthia--they were married in 2004 with the help of Mayor Gavin Newsom, which was later invalidated, and then remarried in 2008 before the Prop 8 Vote.
While, it would be truly incredible to have an out lesbian in the Superior Court system, leaving it at that would be selling Mrs. Kolakowski short. If elected in the November Runoff, Kolakowski would be the first known transgender judge elected in the country.
How do you like that?
