After same-day ballots, Maricopa County voters decided to retain three Arizona Supreme Court justices, five Court of Appeals judges and 44 Maricopa County judges.
Superior Court Judge Hopkins would need about 250,000 votes to flip votes in favor of retention while Howard Sukenic needed 180,000. Rusty Crandell had the narrowest gap to span, trailing 36,000 votes to keep his job.The prospect of Maricopa County voters possibly removing two or three superior court judges would be historic, if results hold. Since 2000, they have only removed one.
Every time a judge is up for retention, the Arizona Commission on Judicial Performance Review evaluates them. The commission, composed of 34 members, surveys jurors, witnesses, attorneys, judges and court staff to determine if a judge “meets” or “doesn’t meet” five performance standards. In 2022, only Hopkins failed to get a majority of “meets standards” from commissioners. Only seven out of 26 commissioners felt that he met the performance standards.
