Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has appointed an appellate judge to the North Carolina Supreme Court to fill a vacancy created when a Democratic justice stepped down early.
Riggs will serve out the remainder of Morgan’s term through the end of next year. Her seat on the high court will appear on the ballot in 2024, and she told reporters Monday that she plans to run next year for a full eight-year term. Jefferson Griffin, a Republican serving on the state Court of Appeals, has already announced his candidacy for that seat.
Riggs argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in a Texas redistricting case in 2018 and a North Carolina redistricting case in 2019. She received her law degree and two other degrees from the University of Florida. He also appointed Carolyn Thompson, a deputy commissioner on the state Industrial Commission and a previous district court and superior court judge, to fill Riggs’s seat on the state Court of Appeals.
Riggs assured reporters Monday that her history of butting heads with Republican legislators in her previous role as an attorney would not interfere with her judicial responsibilities. She is viewed as a further-left pick than Morgan, her predecessor, who occasionally joined Republicans on opinions about crime issues.
