3 candidates are tracked for District Magistrate Judge, 23rd Judicial District on the November 3, 2026 ballot: Brendon J. Boone, Richard Hanks and Travis Phillips. Candidate information follows official Rooks County election filings; verify with the official election office linked below.
Brendon J. Boone (Republican), Richard Hanks (Democratic) and Travis Phillips (Republican) are all listed for District Magistrate Judge in Kansas's 23rd Judicial District (Ellis, Gove, Rooks and Trego counties), per the Kansas Secretary of State's certified 2026 general election candidate list; the list does not distinguish a second division or seat number for this office, so it is unclear from the state list alone whether this is one contested seat or two seats without a numbering. Confirm the exact ballot with the county clerk. This seat covers a multi-county judicial district, not just this county.
Justice of the peace. Justices of the peace handle the lowest-level court matters: small claims, evictions, traffic and minor criminal cases, and, in some states, marriages and inquests. The office is part of the judiciary, so candidates are limited in what they may promise.
