The two attorneys are vying for the seat that will open up with Judge Samuel Stevens' retirement. The June primary ballot will include a race unseen in the county for more than two decades: an open race for judge. The 10 judges currently sitting on the Santa Cruz County Superior Court were all appointed by governors, including three in the past two years. The last time voters elected a judge who was not an incumbent was 1986.
