DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -

A newly formed group is leading an effort to retain an Iowa Supreme Court justice who others are trying to oust because of his support of a ruling that legalized gay marriage in Iowa.

"Justice Not Politics Action" is launching a campaign to support the retention of David Wiggins and all other judges on the November 6th ballot.

Wiggins is one of seven justices involved in the 2009 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in Iowa.

He's the fourth justice in the case to come up for a retention vote.

Three others were removed by voters in 2010 following a campaign led by Iowans for Freedom, an offshoot of the conservative "Family Leader."
