Judges make decisions that impact Arizonans every day but how much do you know about the judges on your ballot and how can you learn enough about them to decide if they should be retained?

In this episode Tom and Gina get into why the Arizona Constitution requires some judges to periodically appear before voters for retention and how citizens play a role early on in this process.

With dozens of judges appearing on ballots across the state, this conversation with the Arizona Commission on Judicial Performance Review, is timely. It explains the commission's extensive review process from confidential evaluations and performance data to public input which guides their assessment of judges.

Before casting your ballot, listen to this episode to learn more about judges up for retention and where to find the commission's evaluations.
