The Kansas Courts, in a release, said the 12th Judicial District Nominating Commission on Tuesday selected Angela Hecke to fill a vacancy in Lincoln County.

Hecke's new position will take effect on her swearing-in.

She previously was a district magistrate judge in Marshall County in the 22nd Judicial District.
