January 23, 2023 To: Nevada Commission on Judicial Selection RE: Danielle Chio Subject: IN SUPPORT OF DANIELLE CHIO EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT DEPARTMENT 7 Danielle Chio made an appearance on the Veterans In Politics talk show on September 3, 2022 (see the link to the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e19CM--cSNs ), and we deemed her to have a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the legal system. Chio has a humble heart for humanity being employed with the Clark County District Attorneys office and had the opportunity to work on the sexual assault team and currently heads the gang unit. Chio is a hardcore prosecutor and has the capability and understanding to be fair and balanced. We believe Chio would be a champion for courtroom demeanor. Chio seemed to have a gift for understanding the victim, the perpetrators, and the families on both sides of the table. Chio believes that if you are going to send people to prison or enforce the death penalty you have to visit those facilities to have a better understanding of where the convicted will end up. Chio also believes that her tough upbringing has given her a better understanding of the accused. Chio said as a legal professional you have to uphold the judicial canons and the code of ethics. Chio explained the importance of the Veterans Treatment Court. We pointed out how law enforcement officers automatically go on paid administrative leave after they fired their weapons and receive mental care. The big difference is a Combat Veteran is not afforded the same opportunity, because they are constantly in the fight with multiple deployments and zero mental care. We gave our endorsements to Danielle Pieper Chio when she ran for Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Department 9 and now we give our endorsement once again in this appointment process. *Footnote Veterans In Politics International is extremely critical of Judges, especially in Family Court. We have a long history in family court. We have protested the corruption that has plagued the family court system. We have put together a court observation team that observes judges on the bench. We have created Youtube channels that showcase actual court cases, endorsement interviews, and one on one interviews. We have contracted with Court Cam and Court TV to show what happens in the courtroom to a nationwide audience. We have interviewed thousands of candidates for our endorsements and in many cases, we have done a complete background check on the candidates that appear before our panel. We have done articles and interviewed candidates for the bench on our talk show program, to educate the public before they go to the voting booth. The reason I am bringing this to your attention is that we take the judiciary extremely seriously since 1998. We believe that a judge's decision impacts your life immediately and on a very personal level.
