Ohio

From what I can tell, Justice Sharon Kennedy is not up for re-election for her current seat but she's running to be the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, and the same for her Democratic opponent, Justice Jennifer Brunner.

For the individual that doesn't win, I imagine they just retain their current seat on the seat until they are up for re-election, correct?

What I'm really trying to understand is that for the Democratic party, it's not a risk. There are 3 Democratic justices on the court and no matter what happens with the Chief Justice election, Democrats still holds 3 seats on the Court?
