Judges up for re-election

I posted this on the Political Forum but think the question is general interest for all TV voters. Admin is welcome to delete if they disagree.
Is there a public access resource, hopefully on-line, with information about the candidates for state supreme court and district appeals court judgeships? I'd love to try to see how these guys (yes, all guys) lean politically.

Pretty sure all those supreme court justices are appointed vs elected. Not sure about the appeals court.

I think you're correct. Wrong terminology on my part. We only get to vote whether they should be retained in office, which probably has minimal impact, but it feels good.

They are appointed and the election ballot ask if they should be retained. I checked no on all of them.

As we are looking for information..............why did you check no on all of them?
