I couldn't find much help for deciding whether to vote yes/no for specific judges.
https://judgevoterguide.com/
This is judge candidates by county.
The recommendations are skewed conservative (strict constructionists get highest ratings).
Two scales used
JUDICIAL INDEX (JI) high numbers are strict constructionists.
QUALIFICATIONS (Q) high numbers are highly qualified.
Hope it helps.
Since I didn't make it clear earlier..this guide recommends conservative judges. Assuming if you are a DUer you probably don't want to skew conservative, you want to reverse the recommendations. Obviously if you have a better source of information, great. But if you couldn't find anything better...this might be a starting point.

Craig Alan Huey (born June 16, 1950) is an American Republican Party politician who was the Republican nominee in the redistricted 2012 66th State Assembly district election in California. Prior to that, Huey ran for Congress in the 2011 special election to replace Jane Harman.

(36,498 posts)but we were talking about Craig Huey and this guide just this morning and I jumped the gun. Sorry.
He just might be the perfect reverse barometer.
Side note: Craig Huey's name was giving me a hiccup until I sorted it out: Hugh Anthony Cregg III, known professionally as Huey Lewis, is an American singer, songwriter, and actor.

(426 posts)You don't have to do the opposite of the recommendations since they are the San Diego County Democratic Party's suggestions.
