## Resource

Three finalists—Blake Glover, Paul Klepper, and Krystal Vokins—have been shortlisted by Kansas’s Seventh Judicial District Nominating Commission to fill a vacant Douglas County judge seat. Governor Laura Kelly has 60 days to choose, and the winner will serve one year before facing a retention vote in the next election. If approved, they’ll serve a full four-year term. The commission, made up of legal and non-legal members, aims to ensure the judiciary remains strong and accountable. This appointment will shape the county’s justice system for years to come—with voters ultimately deciding the judge’s future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
