Members of the nominating commission called in each of the eight attornies one by one to be interviewed for the 21st District Judicial Judge position. Individuals interviewed for the position were Grant Bannister, Amy Bipes, John Bosch, Sheila Hochhauser, Kendra Lewison, Kassie McEntire, and Phylemon Chuen-Man Yau.
As they each stood before the panel of commissioners, they were asked to give an opening statement and a little bit of their background. After sharing their prepared speeches, the commissioners then asked them questions.
All 8 interviews were completed by 1:00 p.m. and the commissioners then went into executive session. By 2:00 p.m., they had reached a decision on which candidates would be best.
Grant Bannister, John Bosch, and Kendra Lewison were the selected individuals and these three names will now be given to the Governor who will appoint one of the suggested nominees.
