My phone was busy all evening yesterday and this morning. These texts are just one of many since the CJP report came out and people all over the state and country emailing and texting me. Several local and successful attorneys have also "thanked me for my service "
Kreis and the failure to hold him accountable by Humboldt Superior Court and the Humboldt Connected has cost many people including me money, our livelihood, our homes and health.
A message from yet another person who was impacted by Kreis and Humboldt Superior Court and the Connected.
"Hey John, congratulations on your hard work on getting Kreis out. Thank you for your pivotal effort in removing this tyrant. That’s ALL that matters. You are a hero in my mind and I’m grateful for you, John! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Job well done and this is the first step. Thank you for standing the tide of that corruption. I pray Humboldt appreciates the impact you have had."
Some in Humboldt and associated with Humboldt do appreciate me. For those who cannot bring themselves, even now, despite years of what I have done for this community to eke out thanks or give me credit, you don't matter. All the roadblocks you still throw at me do not matter. The Humboldt House of Cards was brought down by strong men and women. Kreis being removed is a victory that belongs to many. All of you who enabled Kreis and still do deserve to lose everything and all of you will experience karma for the lives you destroyed, your bullying and the impact on innocent children.
"Kreis is toast" and other sentiments were texts I received.
To all those people who kept saying to me that a sitting judge has never been defeated; who almost endorsed a loser, who gave him money, your names are forever linked with the bufoon who made national headlines. To all those people who knew what was going on for years and stayed silent until a few days ago when there was no risk you don't get to claim you had anything to do with Kreis being ousted.
This victory belongs to those who took the risk and had the guts. As Ms. Van Dyke said last night, it belongs to those who believed from the beginning. This victory belongs to those who spoke up and contacted the CJP. And to those who exposed Kreis. I have covered Humboldt Superior Court and Kreis for years. I and others have waited years for the CJP to announce charges against him and to see Kreis topple.
The judge's race in this primary election shows that the good ole boys and gals can be defeated with the right candidate, a great grassroots team, independent reporting and the power of the people.
If you didn't follow the live election coverage last night, you should read my live coverage and photos from Humboldt Superior Court candidate April Van Dyke .get together which included a surprise guest, Brenda Elvine, Gregory Kreis' ex wife.
I did this post last month.
