Rep Tom Huff was labeled not qualified while four others were well qualified or qualified. Bar member Leevy Johnson refused to disclose criteria, drawing criticism from lawmakers who call the secrecy a flop and unfair to candidates. Huff accused the Bar of elitism and opposing legislation to expand bar influence.
