Gov. Katie Hobbs will have a pool of two judges and three high-ranking government attorneys to choose from for her first appointment to the Arizona Supreme Court.
Politically, the pool consists of three Democrats and two independents.
After eight interviews, discussion and a vote on Monday, the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments forwarded Court of Appeals Judges Maria Elena Cruz and Andrew Jacobs, Deputy Solicitor General Alexander Samuels, Department of Economic Security General Counsel Nicole Davis and Principal Assistant Tucson City Attorney Regina Nassen to Hobbs.
