The Lake County Republican Women Federated (LCRWF) will start the new year with an 11:30 luncheon at Howard’s Grotto, Clearlake, on Feb. 13.
Guest speakers will be Richard Martin, retired judge joined by Don Jones from Ukiah, to discuss “Crime, Guns, Gun Control and CCW.”

He studied law at Los Angeles Valley College and University of LaVerne (College of Law at San Fernando Valley).

In 2005, Martin was appointed Superior Court Judge by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to succeed Judge Robert Crone on his retirement. After 12 years in the Lake County Superior Court, he retired on May 31, 2017.
