Two candidates in running for new court branch in Jackson County
There are now two candidates for a new circuit court seat being created in Jackson County.
Robyn Matousek has announced as a candidate for judge in the new Branch 2.
Matousek is a former area prosecutor who placed 3rd in a primary for Jackson County judge in 2015.
She would face the candidate who came in 2nd in that election, county district attorney Daniel Diehn.
The only current judge in Jackson County, Anna Becker, is unopposed for re-election to Branch 1 in April.
