DENVER — Gov. John Hickenlooper announced appointments to the Commissions on Judicial Performance including the 12th Judicial District (San Luis Valley.)

Commissions on Judicial Performance provide voters with fair, responsible and constructive evaluations of judges and justices seeking retention. The results also provide judges with information to help improve their professional skills as judicial officers.

There is one commission in each of the 22 judicial districts and one state commission. The State Commission promulgates the Rules Governing Commissions on Judicial Performance and evaluates the Supreme Court justices and Court of Appeals judges. District Commissions evaluate the performance of county and district court judges in their judicial district during the judge’s current term of office, which is the past two years for new (provisional) judges, the past four years for county court judges, and the past six years for district court judges.

12th Judicial District
For terms expiring Nov. 30, 2021:
Brent Alan Buser of Alamosa, to serve as a non attorney, appointed;
Heather Marie Hixson of Alamosa, to serve as a non attorney, appointed.
