Liability Reform Coalition announces 2006 judicial candidate recommendations

SEATTLE, June 28—The Liability Reform Coalition (LRC) today marked 20 years of lawsuit reform advocacy by announcing its candidate recommendations for the Washington Supreme Court and Court of Appeals positions up for election this November.

“Typically, voters have a difficult time finding adequate information with which to make informed decisions on judicial candidates,” said LRC Chairman Cliff Webster. “To fill this void, the LRC intensively interviews judicial candidates, weighing their qualifications, experience and background, and then recommends candidates that share our ideal goal of ending lawsuit abuse.”

Webster emphasized that lawsuit abuse is a rampant problem that brings higher costs to doing business in Washington state, costs that are ultimately  passed on to the  consumer.

The LRC recommendations for the Washington Supreme Court are Stephen Johnson for Position 2 and John M. Groen for Position 8.

The LRC’s judicial candidate recommendations will also be posted on its Web site at www.walrc.org.
