Judge Steel, who handles primarily abuse and neglect cases, had an acceptable sixty percent retention rating in the Review-Journal's most recent judicial survey. Mis Mastin says she entered the race so Judge Steel would not go unopposed, but she offers no compelling reason to make a change. Voters can confidently retain hard-working Judge Cynthia "Dianne" Steel.
