Karen Peters
Candidate for the
Supreme Court
3rd Judicial District
(Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster Counties)

• My 22 years of judicial experience is inspired by my devotion to ethics and fairness.
  Nine years a Family Court Judge and then the first woman elected to the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial District, I was later appointed to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court by Governor Cuomo and twice re-appointed by Governor Pataki. I hear appeals from the trial courts in 28 counties.
  I also serve on the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct which considers complaints against judges.
  I am grateful for the opportunity to serve all the people of this State.
