Elizabeth Trosch announced her candidacy on Thursday for Superior Court seat 26H in the 2026 election to succeed Judge Louis A. Trosch Jr., who announced his retirement two days prior.
Elizabeth is Louis’ sister-in-law.
She has worked in the district court for 16 years, and during her tenure as Chief District Court Judge, she led the 26th Judicial District through the COVID-19 pandemic, addressed the court backlog, and transitioned the largest district in the state into the eCourts system.
“I look forward to continuing practical and collaborative leadership at this next level of service to our courts and community. I will continue to protect the rights of all North Carolinians without fear or favor,” Trosch said in a statement.
Trosch was removed as chief district court judge by the N.C. Supreme Court in April 2024 after four years in the position.
The decision came on the heels of allegations against county magistrate Robin Sabio, who was under suspension. She has also been criticized for her bond amounts in criminal cases.
The county’s magistrates have been among the local officials criticized in the aftermath of the light rail stabbing of Iryna Zarutska. The Republican-backed “Iryna’s Law” eliminated cashless bond, among other tougher criminal provisions.
Louis Trosch, a West Charlotte and UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, has served in the seat since 1999.
