A District 34 vacancy committee today appointed former Denver school board member Lucia Guzman to fill the remaining term of state Senator Paula Sandoval's term.

Guzman is a Democratic candidate for the seat this fall. Sandoval resigned to serve on the Denver City Council.

Sandoval did not seek re-election because of term limits.

 Others who have formed campaign committees include Democrats Jerry Frangas and Joel Judd and Republican Derec Shuler.

The district spans generally from Interstate 25 and Santa Fe Drive on the east and Sheridan Boulevard on the west, as well as West Florida Avenue north to West 52nd Avenue.

Guzmán is executive director of the Agency for Human Rights and Community Relations for the City and County of Denver, a position to which she was appointed by Mayor John Hickenlooper in 2003.

She served on the Denver Public Schools Board from 1999 to 2007. A pastor, Guzman was executive director of the Colorado Council of Churches from 1994 to 1999.
