Sonoma County candidates are in the column on the far left. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

Interesting that all of the the Democratic appointees are shown as No. And the R's are a yes....

Definitely a conservative slant here. You can always vote the opposite of what's recommended. That's my plan. :-)

In researching who authored/sponsored Judge Voter Guide, I went to their Home page.
Scrolling pretty far down, I found the following (I added italics and bold to the closing sentences) which show bias.
The title of the part is:
Warning:Do NOT Vote for a Judicial Activist
How important is it for you to vote for the right judges?
"...Judges sitting on California courts may be incompetent, corrupt or lazy.
Even worse, many are political opportunists with a political agenda. They are “judicial activists.” A judicial activist legislates from the bench. Instead of strictly interpreting California law, these judges make the laws.
Instead of applying the law to facts, they impose their own values on us all.
It is the voters of California and the legislatures that are supposed to make laws. Not judges. In fact, these judges ignore the law in favor of their own liberal, left-wing, anti-family agendas.
Legislating from the bench, these judges destroy or weaken constitutional protection, votes by the people, family values, marriage, religious liberty and economic freedom."
That looks like a fine site, except that it is woefully out of date - the info is for 2014 election!Quote:

BTW, belatedly I realized that the chooseyourjudges.org site is outdated and I was not able to find a current one. My apologies to all.
I guess their standards don't apply to the Supreme Court judges.
