Terri King Schoborg advanced to the November election in the Kenton County family court judge race with more than double the votes of the next highest vote-getter, Carl. E. Knochelmann, Jr.
King Schoborg won Tuesday night’s three-way primary with 10,391 votes and will face Knochelmann head-to-head in November. Knochelmann received 4,282 votes.
Ben Dusing, who finished third and was eliminated from the November election, had 2,039 votes as of Tuesday evening.
King Schoborg said she wasn’t surprised to advance by such a landslide.
“I think that people looked at my experience,” King Schoborg said. “I had a lot of people helping me that I worked through the years in family court. I think the voters were educated voters.”
In 2018, King Schoborg won the primary for family court judge, but lost in the November election.

In order to win the November election this year, she said, “I’m just going to work. That’s what we do. I go door to door and talk to people. That’s just what we do.”
Dusing and Knochelmann both ran in order to change what they said were issues they experienced personally within the family court in Kenton County.
King Schoborg started practicing law when she was 23. She opened a private practice in Latonia with her brother and has been in business there for 35 years.
November’s winner will replace retiring judge Christopher Mehling.
