Looks like we will have a race for judge > Rexroad.com

Doug Paul Davis has an item this morning about the race for Superior Court Judge in Yolo County. I don't really know much about elections for judges.

I did talk to the "elections queens" in the County Clerks office and a few others on Monday to learn more about the process. It still does not make a lot of sense to me but this is what I understand:

When Donna Petre stepped down a few weeks ago and a new seat was created at the first of the year Yolo County ended up with two open seats.

Both of the seats are likely be filled by the Governor. If they are not filled by the Governor by the end of this year then they would be on the ballot in 2010. That is not going to happen.

Anyone that has been an active member of the bar for seven years can run for judge.

I ran against an incumbent. It was not fun. Running against a sitting judge would seem to be an extremely uncomfortable task for a Deputy District Attorney.

This is going to be interesting to watch.

I guess the Democrat and Enterprise are going to have stories on this today.
