Pima County Judges in the Spotlight | Tucson News

Pima County is urgently seeking two new judges to fill critical vacancies left by retiring Judge Christopher Browning and newly appointed U.S. Magistrate Judge Greg Sakall. Nine finalists are now under review after 16 applicants were initially considered, with public feedback invited via email, mail, or in-person attendance at upcoming interviews on August 24th. These judges will handle everything from criminal and civil cases to family and juvenile matters — and their selection directly impacts community justice. After interviews, the commission will recommend three candidates to Governor Katie Hobbs for final approval; appointed judges will serve until the 2028 election, when voters decide their fate. With 51 current judicial officers, these appointments are vital to maintaining a functional court system. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
