“Ms. Jones, that will be me one day.” Jude Stumpf made that promise to his advisor as a freshman, looking up at the Attorney General on stage. He started Youth and Government that year feeling a little unsure, but left feeling “all in.” Since then, Jude has turned his ambition into a reality. After a very successful Mock Trial experience, Jude found his passion and future career path. His hard work earned him the Best Attorney award and a spot on the All-Star Champions team, which eventually led to his current role as District Attorney. Now, Jude is running for Attorney General and has big plans to improve the delegate experience. In particular, he is committed to providing clear, accessible resources like instructional guides and videos so that every delegate feels prepared, recognizing that the learning curve can be difficult. Jude promises to make the Mock Trial efficient, effective, and an impactful experience for everyone.
