Supreme Court Candidate Discussion

October 14, 2016 – On the ballot in November are two candidates for the New Mexico Supreme Court. Incumbent Judith Nakamura (R) was appointed to the bench in 2015. She was previously a judge in the Second Judicial District. Her challenger Michael Vigil (D) currently serves on the New Mexico Court of Appeals.
