Inquiry Concerning a Judge No. 2023-029 re: Hon. Casey L. Woolsey

Summary

The Court approved the stipulated finding that Judge Woolsey violated the judicial code by approving a misleading campaign post that overstated her campaign fundraising. It rejected the finding that her campaign voicemail violated Canon 7 because describing herself as “a conservative” was not inherently partisan, did not signal bias, and did not undermine judicial impartiality. The Court imposed a public reprimand based solely on the misleading social media post.
