In a unanimous decision, the Cochise County Board of Supervisors appointed Randy Judd as the new Justice of the Peace for Precinct 3. The announcement followed a special meeting that took place earlier today, paving the way for Judd to assume the position on November 13. Prior to the appointment, a Justice of the Peace Selection Committee had put forward both Judd's and Terisha Driggs' names as potential candidates.
Before pinning down Judd for the job, the Board took a brief recess into Executive Session. In addition to his Justice of the Peace appointment, Judd was also dubbed as Justice of the Peace Pro Tempore for Precinct 3 since October 1, as the Cochise County official website reported. The decision to install Judd holds significance, especially considering the Board's acknowledgment of his wealth of experience and dedication to the role, as stated by Chair Ann English during the announcement.
The sentiment behind selecting Judd was further echoed by his own words. "I am honored to serve the community in this capacity and look forward to upholding the principles of justice and fairness in Precinct 3," Judd commented, signaling his readiness to fill the vacant seat with earnest resolve and a history of experience in law enforcement, according to the Cochise County official website.
Although only one candidate would eventually take the seat, the Board ensured it recognized Terisha Driggs for her willingness to step into public service and her active participation throughout the selection process. Driggs' contribution to Precinct 3 remains appreciated by the community and the Board, despite her not receiving the ultimate nod for the Justice of the Peace role.
