"Linda Vanzi has proven herself, first as one of the best trial judges in New Mexico, and now as an outstanding judge on the Court of Appeals. New Mexico needs Judge Vanzi to continue her honest and thoughtful work on the appellate court."

"Judge Vanzi's intelligence, hard work, collegiality and fidelity to the law are critical to maintaining the integrity of the Court of Appeals. At a time when public confidence in our institutions and courts has suffered greatly, it is important that the most qualified person be kept on the Court. Judge Vanzi is that person and she deserves the support of everyone who values judicial independence and the rule of law."

"During my 19 years as a District Judge, I have known and worked with Judge Vanzi for several years. She was always one of our very best District Judges, and now is one of the very best Court of Appeals Judges. I have always found her to be very conscientious, highly diligent, hard-working, very caring, extremely ethical, extraordinarily fair and courteous to all litigants and witnesses, and extremely knowledgeable of the law. Judge Vanzi is an ideal, top-quality Judge in the New Mexico Court of Appeals, and--without reservation or hesitation of any kind--I enthusiastically endorse Judge Vanzi to continue as a Judge of the Court of Appeals. I strongly encourage all my friends and acquaintances to join me in keeping Judge Vanzi in the New Mexico Court of Appeals."

"We need more judges like Judge Vanzi. The combination of her integrity, ethics, and knowledge of the law are incomparable in New Mexico."

"Judge Vanzi is well respected by both the plaintiff's and defendant's bars because she always treats everyone fairly. In her court everyone gets equal justice."

"Judge Vanzi's community involvement and life experience guarantee that her highly respected legal judgment reflects a true understanding of everyday New Mexicans."

"Judge Vanzi is known as a woman of integrity, who is extremely competent, thoughtful and thorough. We are truly fortunate [she] has accepted this nomination to the bench."

"Judge Vanzi is well respected by both the plaintiffs' and defense bars because she always plays by the rules. In her courtroom, the words 'equal justice for all' have real meaning."

"Judge Vanzi's legal abilities are beyond reproach, her unimpeachable ethics guarantee that her legal judgment will not be clouded by ideology and, most important, her presence on the Second Judicial District bench will have an affect beyond the cases she will hear."

"I have served on many judicial selection commissions since their inception. Judge Vanzi's application and interview showed me that she was one of the best qualified persons to ever apply for the position of district court judge during my involvement in the commissions. Because of her varied background and experience as a lawyer, it came as no surprise that she was recommended by the commission and selected by the Governor to serve as a district court judge."

"Judge Vanzi believes in accountability at all levels of life – personal, institutional, and governmental. She is determined to lead by example, giving 110% to her position, and helping to restore the public’s confidence in our judiciary."
