Friend,

An article from the Phoenix New Times explores allegations of a "sham" interview process for a seat on the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments, a board with strong influence over congressional and legislative redistricting in Arizona.

The Senate Judiciary Committee reconfirmed Republican Jonathan Paton, whom Governor Doug Ducey had previously appointed to the seat. However, some applicants revealed their interviews were held after the seat had been appointed, raising concerns that "Ducey is flouting the Constitution with his appointments and trying to stack the commission in Republicans' favor."

Will you sign our petition condemning this shell game, and demand a fair and transparent interview process for the Appellate Court Commission?

The commission is meant to reflect the diversity of Arizona's population, but in reality, partisan politics are driving appointments. In fact, "public members of the appellate court commission include one person of color, not one Democrat, and not a single person from a tribe."

Together, we need to make our voices heard and demand that these commissioners be as open and transparent as possible.
