Not only are the things mention in the last comment above me true about Broadman , I had the pleasure of being bullied by him in my divorce proceedings. After having to be investigated by CPS it all worked out, and nothing came of it… but It was unnecessary caused by Broadman when he should have known better… he enjoyed being able to cause trouble for others and loved punishing those who caused their own trouble. A very strange and scary man. I wouldn’t vote for anyone that Howard endorsed. EVER!

Broadman also had been named in a lawsuit claiming that he bilked a former legal client out of her home and land. He had also been the subject of both ridicule and praise for “creative” sentencing techniques, such as ordering a thief to wear a T-shirt proclaiming his guilt. He was described as being “…. tremendously stubborn and having an ego as big as all outdoors.” Broadman is definitely a good character reference to seek…… if you are into narcissism.

Visalia needs new ideas and perspective. We cannot move forward if the council is made up of people who believe in keeping things the same. Completely agree. Visalia needs new ideas and perspective.
