🎉 Congratulations to the Honorable Maria Elena Cruz! ✨
Yuma’s very own, the Honorable Maria Elena Cruz of the Arizona Court of Appeals, has advanced in the selection process for the next Arizona Supreme Court Justice! A total of five (5) applicants have been forwarded by the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments to Governor Katie Hobbs for consideration.
This is an incredible opportunity for representation from a rural community like ours on the State's highest court! 🙌
Judge Cruz’s journey reflects her dedication to fairness and justice in all communities:
✅ Cocopah Tribal Judge Pro Tem (2004-2008)
✅Yuma County Superior Court Judge (2009-2017) and Presiding Judge (2017)
✅Initiator of Yuma County Restitution Court, a model now expanding statewide to ensure victims receive access to justice
✅Arizona Court of Appeals 2017-Present
✅Continued service as a Judge ProTem in Yuma County while serving on the Court of Appeals
Raised in Yuma, Judge Cruz returned after law school to raise her family and give back to the community that shaped her. Yuma is still home as she and her family remain deeply connected to her hometown. 🏜️
Congratulations to Judge Cruz and all applicants for Arizona Supreme Court Justice! This is a proud moment for Yuma and all rural communities across Arizona. 👏 👏👏
