All four Mecklenburg District Court judges on Tuesday’s ballot easily won election.

With 187 of 195 precincts reporting, Judge Jena Culler had more than 67 percent of the vote in her race.

“I am thankful to the Mecklenburg County voters for giving me the chance to continue to serve,” Culler said, “and I am grateful to everyone who supported my campaign.”

Culler had 67.15 percent of the vote in her race against Grant Smithson. He had 32.85 percent.

Culler was appointed to the bench by then-Gov. Mike Easley in 2008. Two years later, though, she was defeated in her bid to retain her judgeship. Last year, Gov. Bev Perdue appointed her to a vacant judgeship.

Culler received good ratings in an N.C. Bar Association survey evaluating the judges seeking election. Her overall performance rating was 4.26. She received a 4.35 rating for integrity and impartiality, and a 4.28 rating on legal ability.

A rating of 5 is excellent, 4 is good, 3 is average, 2 is below average, and 1 is poor.

Hands was appointed to the bench by Gov. Perdue in 2009 but lost her bid to retain the judgeship the following year. The governor appointed her to the bench again in 2011.
