The Baltimore City Sitting Judges Committee supports the election of each of the four judges who must stand for election in 2024: Nicole Kimberly Barmore, Yvette Michelle Bryant, Paul J. Cucuzzella, La Zette C. Ringgold-Kirksey, and Martin H. Schreiber II. The retention of sitting judges in challenged elections is vital to the stability of the bench and to attract well-qualified men and women to seek appointment to the circuit courts throughout Maryland. Each of the sitting judges was vetted by a gubernatorial nominating commission at the time of his or her initial appointment to the bench by the Governor.
