Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels today announced his appointment of Todd to replace P. Thomas Snow, who left in March to become chairman of the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission.

"Chuck Todd is a very talented and experienced jurist and a great community leader," Daniels said in making the announcement. "I'm confident he will make an excellent judge and will serve the citizens of Wayne County with distinction."

Todd was selected from a final pool of five candidates that included Wayne Superior Court 3 Judge Darrin Dolehanty and local attorneys Nancy Gardner Wissel, Steve Rabe and Thomas Seal.

Todd, who has been in private practice in Cambridge City since 1998, said he would now work with the governor's office to close out his private practice and transition onto the Superior 1 bench.

He is expected to be seated sometime after June 1.
