Marla Graff Decker
Marla Graff Decker (born May 31, 1958) is Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. She was appointed to a judge of the Court on October 1, 2013 by Governor Bob McDonnell and took office a month later. From 2010 until her swearing in, she was the Secretary of Public Safety in McDonnell's cabinet.[1] Judge Graff was elected to a four year term Chief Judge of the Court in 2019, succeeding Judge Glen A. Huff.[2] Because Chief Judge Graff's term expires in 2021, she will need to be reappointed to the Court by the General Assembly, which is now controlled by the Democratic Party, in order to complete her term as Chief Judge.
