Thanks for a great, informative summary on upcoming state supreme court elections!
I am curious: Why was there no organized campaign last year to oust conservative Arizona Supreme Court justices Clint Block and Kathryn Hackett King? Seems like a huge missed opportunity!
Correction: I believe it is Chief Justice Megan Cavanagh – with a C, and no U.

The AZ court justice was Clint Bolick. There was a PAC that was tied to Arizona's branch of Planned Parenthood that ran ads and did mailers against Bolick and King, but it didn't get traction.
There was also an associated campaign to ban retention votes which failed, fortunately. Had that passed, the Bolick and King retention votes would have been irrelevant, as it was retroactive.
Well, we definitely can get a "better man"--or woman--in his place. But in competitive states like AZ and NC we've had "a good run of bad luck" regarding court appointments and elections.

No good reason, TBH. There was talk of a campaign but it fizzled out. Feels like a mistake to me.

Clint Block?
Seems like he's just "killin' time" on the court
