Rockville attorney Marylin Pierre has announced her candidacy for the Montgomery County Circuit Court judge for the fourth time, following unsuccessful campaigns in previous elections. She will be running against four incumbents in the upcoming primary election. Pierre gained attention in the media after allegations arose that she lied during her 2020 political campaign, resulting in a reprimand from the Maryland Supreme Court. Despite facing backlash for allegedly making false statements, Pierre is continuing her pursuit of a judicial position.
During a candidate forum in 2022, Pierre criticized the vetting process of judicial nominating commissions, stating that her lack of connections on the commission has hindered her chances in the past. She expressed frustration at the perceived favoritism towards candidates with political connections and relationships within the legal community.
Despite facing controversy and scrutiny, Pierre remains determined to secure a position as a Circuit Court judge. Her resilience in the face of adversity and willingness to challenge the status quo within the legal system highlight her commitment to achieving justice and equality in Montgomery County. As the primary election approaches, voters will have the opportunity to evaluate Pierre’s candidacy based on her qualifications and vision for the future of the county’s judiciary.
