Jonathan Newell
Jonathan Newell is a judge of the Second Judicial Circuit in Maryland. He was appointed by Republican Governor Larry Hogan on July 1, 2016, to replace Judge Karen A. Murphy Jensen.[1]
Earlier in the year, Newell had planned to run for election to the Second Circuit Court.[2] After the incumbent, Karen A. Murphy Jensen, withdrew from the race and announced her retirement, the election was cancelled. The Maryland State Board of Elections decided that the governor, Larry Hogan, should appoint a successor to the vacancy. Upon learning the election cancelled, Newell made a statement:[3]
| “ | I intend to apply and look forward to the Judicial Nominating Committee's vetting process. I am confident that they will select the most qualified applicants for the position and that Governor Hogan will make the right choice for our county. I would like to thank the people of Caroline County for the tremendous outpouring of support during this campaign.[4] | ” |
