VA SC judges are elected by legislature (now Dem controlled). [View all]

They serve for 12 year terms. The term of one rated by Ballotpedia as “mild Republican” will end Jan. 2027. The term of a judge rated “strong Republican” will end March of 2028. So while that won’t help with the 2026 midterms, it could make a difference for 2028 election (and for other cases).
