California Supreme Court Retention — November 2026 Election
Last Updated: September 10, 2026
Justice, Supreme Court (Retention)
We recommend voting Yes to retain Justices Kelli M. Evans and Joshua P. Groban on the California Supreme Court.
Our rule is the same as for the Court of Appeal: retain a judge unless there is serious misconduct on the record, or poor judgment that deviates from legal norms. Evans was appointed by Governor Newsom in 2022 and Groban by Governor Brown in 2018. Neither appears in the Commission on Judicial Performance public discipline record, and we found no organized campaign against either of them.
