Caldwell Surpasses for NM Supreme Court Seat
Eighth Judicial District judge Joseph Caldwell was among finalists for the New Mexico Supreme Court but Dan McKinnon III, 57, won the appointment by Gov. Gary Johnson. McKinnon, a Democrat and longtime Albuquerque lawyer, will fill the seat of Justice Stanley Frost who is undergoing cancer treatment. Caldwell noted Johnson cited a long friendship and honesty in the choice. McKinnon now faces a Democratic primary challenge in the November election, as party members choose nominees since the vacancy was too late for June primaries. Caldwell, recovering from back surgery, said he would not run if not appointed.
