I'm in Lee County and I'm sorely uninformed about the judges and others with no DEM or REP next to

their names. If anyone wants to give me a heads up about some of them I'm all ears. I've been filling my ballot for the last couple days and now I'm stuck.

Google Lee County Democrats. They have info on their website and FB. Might even want to join up! They will at least help with the local races. Judges are hard but if you google them you can get an idea who they are.
