They never seem to do much public campaigning, and I have not even received (biased) political mailings. These and others are VERY important positions, yet, not easy to find much past a few ads or just "vote for me" mailings. How/where to find the actual records, not emotional appeals and wild promises !
You can call (we did) the local offices of your normal political party and see what they recommend. Or call both, if a judge is recommended for retention by both parties they must be doing an adequate job. An internet search on our own found one or two, but not all. I agree it has not been easy.
