Legislative proposal would give Iowa governor more power over judicial selection

The bill would remove the most senior judge in the district from the judicial nominating commission. Instead, the governor would be allowed to appoint an additional member. With the addition, the governor would be able to appoint six or a majority of the members to each judicial nominating commission.
