Political Notebook: Lesbian SF Judge Bradstreet retires from the bench
Having served 11 years on the San Francisco Superior Court, Judge Angela Bradstreet has decided to retire. One of three lesbians serving on the lower court, Bradstreet has been a vocal advocate for increasing the number of women and LGBTQ professionals in the legal system.
Her retirement will be effective later this month, though the court did not specify an exact date in its announcement Tuesday of her decision to step down from the bench.
It means Governor Gavin Newsom will name her replacement. Bradstreet did not immediately respond to an interview request sent via the court's media office.
