Arizona Governor Appoints Two Pima County Superior Court Judges
Phoenix — Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs announced on October 15 the appointments of Dawn R. Walton and Nicole P. Savel as Pima County Superior Court judges, filling two vacancies.
Walton has served as a Pima County Superior Court commissioner since 2024, after holding the same role in Maricopa County from 2021 to 2024 and earlier working on dependency and administrative-licensing matters at the state Attorney General's Office. Savel has served in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona since 2004, including as First Assistant U.S. Attorney from 2021 to 2025 and as chief of the Tucson criminal division from 2014 to 2019.
The governor's office said the vacancies arose from Judge Christopher C. Browning's retirement and Judge D. Greg Sakall's move to a federal magistrate judgeship.
"I am proud to appoint two highly qualified attorneys to the Pima County Superior Court," Hobbs said.
