Christopher Candela could become the next Livingston County Circuit Court Judge, potentially replacing Judge Suzanne Geddis.

He currently serves as a Senior Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Eaton County, working under Prosecutor and Attorney General candidate Doug Lloyd. Candela is a Wayne State University undergrad and graduate of Michigan State University College of Law.

The 30-year-old candidate from Genoa says he’ll put public safety and accountability first. He says his decision to run is grounded in a long-term commitment to the community because Livingston County deserves a judge who will apply the law as written and respect the separate roles of government.

Judge Geddis will be retiring at the end of this year.
