Eaves wins two primaries to remain on Harford bench

Harford Circuit Judge Angela Eaves won the Republican and Democratic primaries Tuesday, cementing a 15-year term for the first black woman on the Harford bench.

“I?m ecstatic and a little bit relieved,” Eaves said Wednesday. “I would have done all I had to do under the law in order to keep this job. Now I can go back to the reason I was appointed, and now elected: hearing cases and serving the people, not just campaigning.”
