Judge Edward L Page retired from the bench effective April 30, 2026, and a court order signed August 27, 2026 granted his request to withdraw from the November ballot and reopened filing for the seat, per Leader Publications; the Secretary of State's August 25 certified list still carries his name, so this page lists him until the state publishes the replacement field (re-verify). Edward L Page (Republican) is the only certified candidate for this partisan circuit judgeship, which serves Jefferson County, per the Missouri Secretary of State's certified general election candidate list. Circuit judges in nonpartisan court plan circuits appear as retention questions instead.
Trial court judge. A trial judge presides over criminal and civil cases at the first level: bail and pleas, motions, trials, sentencing and civil judgments. Judges are bound by state law and appellate precedent and are barred by judicial conduct rules from campaigning on how they would rule. Most states elect trial judges on a nonpartisan ballot; the term and the courts a judge may sit on vary by state.
