His current term runs from March 31, 2017, through July 1, 2020.

Schwinghammer was first appointed by Gov. Scott to the commission in 2012. Three years into that term, he was elected chair of the commission.

Judicial Nominating Commissions are nine-member groups appointed by the governor who locate, recruit, investigate and evaluate applicants for judicial office vacancies. Commission members submit three to six names of the most highly qualified applicants to the governor, who makes the final selection from the list.

Most recently, Schwinghammer was named chair of a Florida Bar grievance committee, overseeing investigation of possible lawyer misconduct.
