Currently, approximately one-half of all state judges reach their state court benches by winning partisan or nonpartisan races. In the 21 states that elect their judges, women with judicial aspirations must be as competitive as men in these elections. Specifically, they must finance increasingly expensive judicial campaigns, garner widespread support from influential political elites, and, most importantly, convince voters that they are as capable as men. Do aspiring women judges experience similar barriers or challenges as women running for legislative or executive office?}, number={3}, journal={POLITICS & GENDER}, author={Reid, Traciel V.}, year={2010}, month={Sep}, pages={465–474} } @article{reid_2004, title={Assessing the impact of a candidate's sex in judicial campaigns and elections in North Carolina}, volume={25}, number={2}, journal={Justice System Journal}, author={Reid, T.
