Our November election ballot has dozens of judges up for election or retention, which may seem daunting. Fortunately, 17 local bar associations (links below) have, as they do every year, rated the judges’ qualifications to hold or retain office. Most of the judges received positive ratings from all 17 bar associations. I suggest voting Yes for those judges. Some judges received negative ratings from one or more of the bar associations. I suggest voting No for those judges because we deserve only the finest judges.
In summary, vote Yes for all the judges, except as follows.
Vote No for these judges:
Steven Q. McKenzie
Erin Haggerty Antonietti
Teresa Molina-Gonzalez
Lorraine Mary Murphy
Tiesha L. Smith
