Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has appointed Andrea Totten, a resident of Bunnell, to the position of Flagler County judge.
Alongside current County Judge Melissa Distler, Totten will oversee cases on the county court docket, including civil cases and misdemeanors.
The Legislature had voted to create an additional judge seat in Flagler in order to relieve Distler's docket. Totten was one of six finalists for the seat.
Totten has served as assistant attorney general in criminal appeals since 2013, according to a news release from the governor's office, and had previously been a Seventh Circuit judicial law clerk and assistant state attorney.
She received her law degree from The University of Toledo College and her bachelor’s degree from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, according to the news release.
