Tiara Young Hudson, a Jefferson County public defender, has a chance to win back the judgeship she lost last year if she is selected by the Jefferson County Judicial Commission and approved by Gov. Kay Ivey.

“It is my sincere prayer that the Jefferson County Judicial Commission and, ultimately, Governor Ivey see that I am the most qualified candidate because of my experience, my commitment to upholding the law and my dedication to serving the community,” Hudson said.
