Justices Francis and Sasso, 23 DCA judges to stand for merit retention; circuit and county judicial races set
Hundreds of trial court judges returned to the bench without opposition
Justice Renatha Francis
Supreme Court Justices Renatha Francis and Meredith Sasso and 23 district court of appeal judges have qualified for merit retention on the November 2024 general election ballot.
On the trial court side, 191 circuit judges have been elected or re-elected without opposition, while voters will decide another 20 contests.
Justice Meredith Sasso
Most of the 123 incumbent county judges facing voters this election cycle won re-election unopposed. Only 12 incumbent county court judges face challengers.
Trial court contests will appear on the August 20 primary ballot and any runoffs will be decided in the November 5 general election.
Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Francis in August of 2022 to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Alan Lawson. DeSantis appointed Sasso to replace retiring Justice Ricky Polston in May of 2023. Both are facing their first merit retention vote as justices. In Florida, Supreme Court justices and district court of appeal judges appear on the merit retention ballot after being appointed by the governor, and then every six years thereafter.
Trial court judges are appointed by the governor if the vacancy occurs in the middle of a six-year term, but otherwise are elected by the voters. Under the Florida Constitution, voters in a circuit can go to merit retention for judges up for reelection, but none have taken that option.
The Florida Bar will work to educate and inform voters about judicial candidates and judicial retention and election process.
The DCA judges up for retention are:
- In the First DCA, Stephanie Ray, Brad Thomas, and Kemmerly Thomas.
- In the Second DCA, Anthony K. Black, Edward C. LaRose, and Susan H. Rothstein-Youakim.
