Voters in Maricopa County decided to keep Superior Court Judge Jo Lynn Gentry despite a poor job evaluation from a 32-member commission that rates judges.
Voters overwhelmingly approved the 64 judges in Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima counties, who were on the ballot for job retention. Voters in seven rural counties under the authority of the Arizona Court of Appeals also approved three judges from that court.
Gentry’s 6 percent margin of “yes” to “no” votes was the lowest. The three counties’ average vote tally was 75.41 percent for “yes” and 24.59 percent for “no.”
