Prince George’s Judge Tapped by Gov. Moore for MD Supreme Court

Judge Killough of the Prince George’s County Circuit Court has been nominated by Governor Moore to fill the vacant position on the Supreme Court of Maryland.

According to a press release late last week, Governor Moore has nominated Peter K. Killough to fill the vacancy in the Supreme Court’s 4th Appellate Judicial Circuit seat.

From Gov. Moore:

“Judge Killough is a public servant in every sense,” Moore said in a statement. “He has dedicated over a decade of his life to serving the people of Maryland, and we are grateful that he has raised his hand, once again, to make our state better.

Judge Killough will replace the prior seat holder Justice Michele D. Hotten, who vacated her position in April, just shy of 9 years on the high court. If confirmed by the Maryland Senate in January, Judge Killough will leave his role as an associate judge on the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County.
