KMZQ 670AM, Kevin Wall Radio 6/05/2026 – Hour 2 Part 2
Judge Jessica Goody, a sitting Las Vegas Justice Court judge running for District Court 26, delivers a sharp, self-aware critique of Nevada's judicial system in a candid interview on Kevin Wall Radio. She argues that the state's civil case backlog—over 70% of all district court filings—demands judges with real courtroom experience, not just legal credentials. Her central message? 'If you want the courts to get better, get Goody.' She emphasizes that judicial campaigns are nonpartisan by law, yet voters must still scrutinize candidates' actual experience handling the types of cases they'll preside over. Goody's campaign stands out for its focus on accessibility and transparency, urging voters to Google her, visit her website, and hold her accountable. Meanwhile, the episode reveals a broader political landscape: from voter ID advocacy and border security rhetoric to attacks on 'lawfare' against Trump allies and a growing fear of Democratic Senate gains. The tone is unapologetically conservative, with repeated attacks on inflation, 'radical Democrats,' and 'Nazi' candidates—though Goody’s calm, professional demeanor provides a rare counterpoint to the show’s fiery rhetoric.
Judicial races require scrutiny of actual case experience, not just legal credentials, especially given Nevada’s 70% civil case backlog.
Judge Jessica Goody’s campaign slogan 'If you want the courts to get better, get Goody' is a direct call to voters to prioritize proven courtroom experience.
Nevada’s new voting system tabulates votes in real time after in-person ballots are fed through machines, with 80% of results expected by Tuesday evening.
Judges in Nevada are nonpartisan by law and ethically prohibited from running on party affiliation, despite voter demand for political alignment.
The episode reveals a conservative media ecosystem where judicial campaigns are framed as battles for 'election integrity' and 'law and order'.
