MILWAUKEE — Molly Gena and Lena Taylor are vying for the seat held by Judge Derek Mosley for 20 years. TMJ4's Andrea Williams caught up with the candidates.
Gena currently serves as the managing attorney of Legal Action of Wisconsin. The mother of two is a longtime civil legal aid lawyer.
"I've dedicated my life to public service and access to justice," Gena said. "I've spent over 15 years as a civil legal aid attorney, providing free legal services to over 1,700 clients who could not afford an attorney."
Taylor currently serves as a Wisconsin State Senator representing the 4th District. She's the mother of a son serving in the U.S. Army and has previously served in the Wisconsin Assembly.
"I want to bring that community person that I've always been in whatever capacity I've been...whether a lawyer, a state Rep., a state Senator or God willing or people willing, a judge. I wanna bring the communities voice," Taylor shared.
