Ind. Courts - "Major parties nominate Superior Court judges"
The Indianapolis Star has a brief item this morning headed "Major parties nominate Superior Court judges":
The Democratic and Republican parties have named candidates to be on the ballot for Superior Court judge positions created this year during the legislative session.
Republicans selected Lisa Borges, chief trial deputy in the Marion County prosecutor's office, and Democrats picked Steven R. Eichholtz, a former judge who once was the presiding judge of Marion County courts.During the 2006 legislative session, the General Assembly enacted a law to bring political balance to Marion Superior Court by increasing the number of judges to 36 from 32.
Three new Democratic judges and one new Republican judge will be elected over the next two election cycles. Each party nominated nine judicial candidates in the spring primary election. This fall, the number of judges elected will be increased to 20 from 17.
