Judge Briana Zamora for District Court Judge
ALBUQUERQUE, NM – On May 17, 2012, the New Mexico Hispanic
Bar Association officially voted to endorse Judge Briana Zamora for the
position of Bernalillo County District Court Judge.
A Native New Mexican, Judge Briana Zamora currently presides
as a Metropolitan Court Judge in the criminal division and announced her intentions
to run for the District Court Bench earlier this year. Judge Zamora’s judicial
experience includes presiding over 20,000 cases and working on specialty court
programs such as Homeless Court and Courts to School.
Upon learning of the endorsement, Judge Briana Zamora said,
“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the New Mexico Hispanic Bar
Association, a well-respected legal organization truly committed to serving the
New Mexico community. Judge Zamora
added, “I intend to represent Bernalillo County on the District Court Bench
with honesty and integrity. I believe my proven track record on the bench will
assure New Mexicans of my qualifications for this high honor.”
The NM Hispanic Bar Association’s endorsement of Judge
Zamora was one of just seven given this year to-date. “Judge Zamora was a logical choice for one of
our limited endorsements, given her long-standing commitment to improving the
lives of Bernalillo County residents,” NMHBA President Rebecca Avitia said of
the endorsement. “Judge Zamora’s commitment
has been exemplified in her work as a Metropolitan Court Judge, where she has
treated victims and defendants from Bernalillo County in a fair and
professional manner, and we believe will continue through her service at the
District Court.” More information on
Judge Zamora, including her extensive qualifications, can be found at www.electjudgezamora.com.
