LAKEPORT, Calif. – The two candidates in the runoff for Lake County Superior Court judge met for a debate in Lakeport on Wednesday evening.

Anderson and Harry are running for the seat now held by Judge Stephen Hedstrom, who chose not to seek a fourth term.
The two candidates answered a wide variety of questions, from the impacts of recent legislation to innovations they would introduce, how the legalization of marijuana will affect the court, and balancing the rights of victims and defendants, among others.
Each also answered specific questions about their record, knowledge and ability to take on the challenges of being a Lake County Superior Court judge.
