Gov. Rick Scott announced today the appointment of Donald H. Mason, of Punta Gorda, to the 20th Judicial Circuit Court.

Dons long career in law enforcement, as both a police officer and prosecutor, combined with his years of private practice, make him uniquely prepared to serve on the bench, Scott stated in a release. Throughout Dons career, he has demonstrated his intelligence, fairness and dedication, and I have every confidence that he will bring these qualities to his new position.

Mason, 59, served as a police officer for 30 years before graduating from law school. He is currently the head of the Charlotte County state attorneys office for the 20th Circuit.Mason served as a prosecutor with the 16th Circuit state attorney from 2003-2004, and with the 20th Circuit from 2004 to present.

He fills the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge James H. Seals.
