Learn more about voting for your state courts
Yesterday, I talked about the State Supreme Court and gave a website where you could learn more about the members of that court if you were interested. Today I would like to talk about the Second District Court here in Albuquerque. I have one or two friends on that court. They are gifted and talented people. There is a Judicial Nominating Commission that was created in 1988 when New Mexico voters amended the State Constitution and adopted sections 35, 36, and 37 to Article VI. The commission screens applicants for vacancies within thirty days of an actual judicial vacancy. The Commission’s mission is to recommend to the Governor names of candidates qualified for the judicial office. The commission is made up of a group of bypartisan individuals. Than the Governor appoints a candidate to the bench from the list of candidates sent to him from the commission, once appointed, a judge must run in the next partisan election and, thereafter, be subject to retention or rejection on a nonpartisan ballot. Because the retention or rejection elections are nonpartisan that part of the ballot is separate from the rest of the ballot and voters must vote for each judge individually even if they vote straight ticket for the rest of the party.

New Mexico U.S. Senate election
Tuesday was the filing deadline for candidates to run for U.S. Senate. On our side of the ballot we only have one individual. Congressman Tom Udall is giving up his U.S. House seat to run for the Senate. We have the best candidate for that position. Every democrat in the state should get out and vote for Tom Udall for Senate. His website is: http://www.udallforusall.com/
