Andrea Eddy

Andrea Eddy was appointed to the Denver County Court in July 2016. Voters retained her in 2022 with 79.65 percent of the votes cast on the question: 154,754 yes and 39,538 no.

Before her appointment she was a full-time magistrate for the court, overseeing traffic court, first advisement court, domestic violence arraignment courts and several specialty courts. In the decade before that she was a senior deputy district attorney in Denver, prosecuting domestic abuse, child abuse and sex crimes. She holds an undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a law degree from the University of Denver. She serves on the court resource committee and is active with Volunteers of America.

The Denver County Court Commission on Judicial Performance voted 5 to 0 that she meets performance standards.

The commission writes that Judge Eddy "runs an energetic, positive and low-stress courtroom" and that she "listens closely and has the patience to allow people to express themselves without slowing down the pace of the courtroom." It describes her as a hard worker who volunteers to cover other courtrooms, including weekends during a recent budget crisis, and says she mentors new attorneys through rulings that explain her reasoning.
