I'm not a lawyer, nor am I involved in the justice system on a regular basis, so whenever Judge seats are up for election, I dust off my virtual shovel and start to dig. If you have more to share, please add it in the comments. Here's what I've got:
Eric DuBois of Plantation, FL is running for an Orange County Judge seat (for Group 1).
According to Ballotpedia, he graduated from the University of South Florida (USF Bulls) with a B.A. in International Studies, and got his J.D. at Barry University School of Law. His twitter, with tweets as recent as June 20, states he works for himself (DuBois Law Group), but that website is down. His LinkedIn also has him with DuBois Law Group, and mentions a brief stint as a Board Member of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Dubois' facebook, with public activity as of June 22, states he works with the Orlando Family Firm, but their website doesn't list him. I can't tell much from his social media accounts, except for the irrelevant news that he is a big fan of local sports teams; he tweets regularly about Orlando City Soccer Club, the Orlando Magic, and the Orlando Solar Bears.
Back during the 2012 elections, Eric Dubois ran for Circuit Judge 9, Group 7. Frank Torres tells us that after attending the EOCC Hob Nob, DuBois won their straw poll with 100 out of 201 participants.
According to the Division of Election's website, he later lost that election to Leticia Marques and Joel Wilson.
The
old campaign site is no longer active, but it may make a comeback. Eric DuBois made a statement to the Orange County Bar Association during his 2012 campaign, which you can read
here. During that election he received about $31,000 in monetary contributions and his campaign borrowed $17,000 from himself; he spent about $48,000, with the bulk going to advertisements or other forms of publicity, including several thousand heading to local chambers of commerce.
This time around, the DuBois campaign has received around $51,000 in its first month, with $50,000 coming in the form of loans from himself. $500 has gone towards a consultant.
