By Sam Pierce
This year for the first time in nearly 20 years the citizens, taxpayers and voters in Yuba and Sutter Counties actually get to vote for two opening judicial seats.
When a sitting Judge resigns or retires for whatever reason the Judicial Council of California vent the candidates and then recommends a short list of qualified candidates to the Governor for approval and appointment to the bench.
This June 5th the voters in Yuba County get to choose between three candidates to fill the vacancy that will be made when Judge Dennis Buckley leaves office. The candidates are:
1. Benjamin Wirtschafter
2. Julius Engel
3. Courtney McCalister
In Sutter County voters will have to choose from 9 candidates to fill the vacancy that will be left by Judge Ted Hansen leaving office.
1. Al J.Carrian
2. Nancy A. Southworth
3. Richard Stout
4. Michael J. Sullinger
5. Jud Waggoman
6. Sarah Heckman
7. John Edwards
8. Mike Johnston
9. Michael Trezza
