Nelson seeks Baton District Judge appointment
Taos public defender Peggy Nelson announced at a November bar association luncheon that she will seek the vacancy left by Leon Karlitz as District Judge in the Eighth Judicial District. The Judicial Selection Committee will meet December 19 in Santa Fe to interview candidates and report to Governor Garvey Carruthers. Nelson, backed by local bar associations and Taos officials, faces political dynamics with Carruthers likely favoring Republican nominees. If appointed, the public defender role would be bid, and Nelson may need to resign from the Taos School Board, triggering an interim appointment process.
