Soldotna’s Kristie Babcock was confirmed to the Alaska Judicial Council today in a tight vote by the Alaska Legislature.
Babcock, who runs a State Farm Insurance agency in Kenai, was among a slew of appointees confirmed Tuesday from Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy. She’s married to Tuckerman Babcock, the former chair of the Alaska Republican Party and Dunleavy’s former chief of staff.
While many other appointees sailed through, Babcock was nearly rejected.
In large measure, my objection really comes back to the constitution, said Anchorage Rep. Matt Claman, one of 26 legislators who voted “no.”.
Members of the Alaska Judicial Council nominate candidates for judicial vacancies, who are ultimately chosen by the governor. ....

The Sunday Minefield – May 9, 2021
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! The constitutional session limit is just ten days away, and there is no end in sight. Legislative skits happened this weekend. Great job to all the staff who put them on. Not only were they really funny, it was the first time things felt completely normal. I attended both nights, hence the late column today. The Anchorage mayoral runoff election concludes on Tuesday. The new mayor’s term will begin on July 1.

Alaskans have very little say in who the judges are in their courts. Judges in Alaska aren’t elected. They aren’t appointed like other people to powerful positions in this state. They aren’t confirmed by the lawmakers in Juneau like the people who set gas rates or run state departments. Judges in this state are effectively picked by a group called the Judicial Council.
That group, made up mostly of lawyers, including the Chief Justice of the Alaska Supreme Court, decides who the governor can choose from when there is an opening judgeship. The lawyers on the Judicial Council aren’t appointed like other people to powerful positions in Alaska. The lawyers on the Judicial council are not confirmed by the lawmakers in Juneau. Only three of the seven members of this powerful organization go before the peoples’ representatives to be placed in their seats, and they are all ....

The Alaska Constitution established the Alaska Judicial Council to serve an essential role in building and maintaining fair and impartial courts throughout Alaska. Our Alaska Constitution commands that appointments to the Council by the governor and the bar association “shall be made with due consideration to area representation and without regard to political affiliation.” Sadly, the governor has taken the unprecedented step of nominating a third public member from Southcentral Alaska and failed to appoint a public member “with due consideration to area representation.” If confirmed, Kristie Babcock from the Kenai would join Dave Parker from the Mat-Su and Lynne Gallant from Anchorage as the third public member of the Council from Southcentral. Now, the Legislature must decide whether to follow our constitution and decline to confirm the governor’s unfortunate n ....
