How should I vote on the judicial candidates?
The Democratic Party does not typically make formal endorsement recommendations on how to vote in state judicial retention elections. For these candidates, you can vote “yes” to keep the judge or “no” to remove them. Below is a listing of the judicial candidates on our ballot and which Governor appointed or nominated them. Each of the current justices or nominees were appointed or nominated by a Democratic governor (Gov. Brown or Gov. Newsom).
