The judge presides over cases involving family law, felonies, and land use, among others. The salary is $146,832, half of which is paid by the state, half by the county. The election will be decided in Tuesday’s primary.

The mini-forum will be recorded for broadcast on Public Access Channel 19. The mini-forum will include time for questions from the audience.
