Nevada Chief Justice Mark Gibbons will not seek re-election in 2020 for a fourth term on the Supreme Court. 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. Prior to his election to the High 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. Gibbons says the court filing period opens in January and he wanted to announce this early to give people interested in the position time to decide.
