Marshall will be filling a vacancy left by the retirement of Honorable John C. Judge in Latah County. The Second Judicial District encompasses Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis, and Nez Perce Counties. According to Idaho Code 1-2101 et seq., vacancies in judicial positions are filled by Governor Little after receiving a list of at least three qualified candidates from the Idaho Judicial Council.
In addition to appointing Marshall as District Judge, Governor Little also announced Annette Valenzuela Tipton as the new executive director of the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs (ICHA). Tipton will be taking over from longtime director Margie Gonzalez who retired in January.
Governor Little expressed his confidence in Tipton's ability to continue serving Idaho's Hispanic community with dedication and commitment. He said, "Idaho's Hispanic community is an integral part of the fabric of our state. For decades, Margie Gonzalez served Hispanic Idahoans and the state with remarkable dedication. I am confident Annette will continue this legacy, building on the growth and energy within the community and serving Hispanic Idahoans with that same commitment."
