Statement: The Superior Court Judge presides over cases having
significant impact upon individuals before the court. Child Custody,
Divorce, Person Injuries, Business Disputes, Real Property Disputes and
Criminal cases are life altering to the persons appearing before the
courts. Most cases are never appealed. So it is critical that Okanogan
County has a judge with legal and judicial experience; who's
hardworking; skilled in procedural fairness; and provides a neutral and
unbiased forum for an orderly and rational resolution of disputes.
As an experienced District Court Judge and Municipal Judge along with my
35+ years as a practicing attorney, I have the experience and
demonstrated skills required. My extensive experience in Divorce, Child
Custody and Family Law; Probate and Guardianship; Real Estate; Personal
Injury and Arbitration; Criminal Law at both the Superior and District
Court level have prepared me well to serve the citizens of Okanogan
County as a Superior Court Judge.
Further I have held numerous leadership roles along with extensive
community involvement. Therefore I would respectfully ask the citizens
of Okanogan County to vote for me, Henry "Hank' Rawson, for Superior
Court Judge Position 1 on their ballot. For more information please view
