MARQUETTE, MI— Marquette County’s Chief Public Defender is running for 96th District Court Judge.

Crowley began his career as a prosecutor, then ran a law firm, practicing criminal, family, civil, and landlord/tenant law.
“As the Chief Public Defender and trial attorney, I have zealously advocated for justice and the rule of law, supported our constitution, and worked for equitable access to our courts in service of our community’s values. I’m honored by the opportunity to continue this work from the bench,” he said.
Current District Court Judge Roger Kangas is retiring next year.
