The Statewide Primary Election June 2, 2026 has key County and Judicial races. I have already posted that the two Humboldt Board of Supervisors positions open are in the 4th District and  5th District. Incumbent 4th District Supervisor Natalie Arroyo is running for reelection. Four Humboldt Superior Court positions are up for re-election and include three current judges. 

Humboldt Superior Court Presiding Judge Kelly Neel District 7/Courtroom 7; Humboldt Assistant Presiding Judge District 4/Courtroom 4; District 6 is for Courtroom 6 which has been vacant since Judge Joyce Hinrichs retired early and District 3 is Judge Kaleb Cockrum who is currently assigned to Courtoom 1.

Judge Lawrence Killoran was re-elected in the June 2024 primary and his term runs until 2030 so he is not up for re-election next year.

The Humboldt Elections Department Districts are based on the original seats and do not always match up with the current Humboldt Superior Court assignments of courtrooms asin Judge Cockrum's case.


I may have a few scoops related to the judges positions so stay tuned.

I also posted about two incumbents up for re-election next November in Eureka. The Council races and other positions in school and special districts are in November 26.

Mayor Kim Bergel: November 2026
Councilmember Leslie Castellano: November 2026
