Commission votes to recess into executive session to review sensitive candidate records
Summary
After interviews, the commission voted to recess into executive session to examine candidates' personal financial records and background checks, citing privacy protections; the motion was carried and the panel recessed for lunch before reconvening at 1:00 p.m.
Following the morning interviews, Commissioner Bob Frederick moved that the commission recess into executive session to discuss "sensitive financial information contained within the personal financial records or official background checks of the candidates for judicial nomination," and requested that commission staff Doug Shima and Michelle Moore be allowed to attend. The motion was seconded and the chair called for a voice vote; the motion carried.
Chair Terry Campbell announced the commission would reconvene shortly before 1:00 p.m. and that the next candidate interview would begin at 1:00. The move into executive session was framed as intended to protect candidate privacy while allowing commissioners to review confidential background materials.
