VOTERS' RULE DECISIVELY: RELIGIOUS CONSERVATIVES' BID TO OUST JUDGES FAILS

Share this

 

June 9, 2010 – Perhaps the most stinging defeat in San Diego’s June 8th California election went to conservative Christian judges backed by Better Courts Now, an organization seeking to oust four incumbent judges.

 

All four sitting judges won by hefty margins, each garnering about two-thirds of the vote. Judges Lantz Lewis, Joel Wholfeil, Robert Longstreth and DeAnn Salcido all won reelection.

 

The challengers--Craig Candelore, Larry "Jake" Kincaid, Bill Trask and Harold J. Coleman Jr. --all failed in their bid for election, despite backing of pastors, religious conservatives, gun advocates, and opponents of abortion and same-sex marriage.
