This includes her filing date and ballot designation. It includes her current employer or title too. It also includes her campaign committee name and 2026 campaign platform. Here is why. Ballotpedia's overview pages gave an error on repeated tries. These cover 2026 California and Los Angeles County judicial elections. The error was a robots.txt access block. Haymon's Ballotpedia profile page has not yet been updated for a 2026 candidacy. The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk keeps 2026 candidate filing pages. These could not be found at a working web address. Haymon's apparent campaign website, rhondahaymonforjudge.com, uses JavaScript. It returned no readable text to the fetch tool used. These details should be checked again. Check them against lavote.gov's certified candidate list. Check them against Ballotpedia too. This should happen once the 2026 judicial races are final.
