In New Hampshire, judges are nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Executive Council. The mandatory retirement age for a judge is 70 years old. This year, Supreme Court Justice Hicks will reach mandatory retirement, and the process of replacing him will begin.

In light of some of Governor Sununu’s past nominations, there is reason to be concerned, and the eventual replacement could have lasting effects on NH law for years to come, particularly in regard to civil liberties.
Currently, Assistant Attorney General Anne Edwards has been nominated, but not yet confirmed as a Superior Court judge. Anne Edwards was one of the main enforcers of the absurd, unscientific, and damaging Covid-era mandates and RebuildNH opposes her confirmation as a judge. Someone with such a disregard for basic civil liberties should not serve as a judge.
