In a recent legal development in Florida, an attorney who is running for a judicial office has been given permission to wear clothing that displays the website of his campaign committee. This website also provides options for donations and endorsements.
The approval comes off the back of a recent ethics opinion, although further details of the decision remain undisclosed.
While the adoption of such promotional strategies in political campaigns is not new, its sanctioning in a legal race marks an interesting shift in judicial election campaigns. The implications and potential repercussion of this move are yet to be seen.
