On July 11, 2025 - VolusiaExposed.Com attended (ZOOM), and video recorded the vetting & interview processes of Florida's 7th Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC).

The JNC was tasked with interviewing and vetting sixteen (16) judicial candidates (see right of page =>) to fill two (2) open judicial positions, one being a St. Johns County court seat, the other a circuit wide seat (Volusia, Flagler, Putnam, St. Johns).

Upon the completion of the vetting, interview, and deliberation processes - the JNC forwarded nine (9) judicial nominees names to Governor Ron DeSantis for his consideration in making the two judicial appointments.

This publication has provided within this article - the video interviews and written applications of the nine (9) judicial nominees forwarded to the governor (see bottom of page).

This publication did express a concern regarding Robin Hutcheson's application to the JNC.

Our concerns regarding Hutcheson can be reviewed within our March 14, 2025 article (click here)

Hutcheson was not forwarded by the JNC to the governor's office - for an appointment consideration.

All of the nominees selected by the JNC appear to be qualified for a judicial appointment.

In OUR OPINION Candidates Payne and Phillips interviews were of particular positive interest.

Should our readers wish to express their thoughts to the governor, please feel free to do so at this email link (ryan.newman@eog.myflorida.com)

We wish to express our thanks to all of the JNC commissioners - with particular attention to Mr. Travis Mydock for promptly providing us with the nominees' judicial applications.

Stand by to stand by ..... we shall post the governor's appointments once he makes them.
