Officials say Chief Justice Mark Gibbons announced Monday that he will not seek re-election in 2020 for a fourth term on the Nevada Supreme Court.

“Since judicial election filing opens in January 2020, I wanted to make this announcement early so people interested in the position could decide to file for the office,” said Chief Justice Gibbons.

They say  Chief Justice Gibbons was first elected to the Nevada Supreme Court in 2002. He is the longest serving Justice among the seven members of the Court.

Officials say prior to his election to the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Gibbons served as a District Court Judge in Clark County for six years. In 2001, he was elected Chief Judge of the Eighth Judicial District Court by his fellow judges.
