The non-partisan judicial races

[69KV]

I just did some checking on the non-partisan judicial races.

On your Arizona ballot you will see a section asking if so-and-so judge should be retained, but they don't list any kind of party affiliation. Here is their actual party affiliation. Not all of these names will be on the ballot this year.
