Jodi Erikson-Muldrew

 

Thurston County District Court

Position Two

Jodi Erickson-MuldrewI am dedicated to increasing the impact and accessibility of rehabilitative options, including the current Mental Health and DUI Courts, and the creation of a Domestic Violence Court. These specialized court systems better serve both offenders and victims. I believe it is necessary to maximize the benefit of taxpayer dollars by streamlining payment and filing systems in both civil and criminal courts, given these economic times. With over a decade of experience as a legal advocate: defense and prosecution, civil and criminal, I am dedicated to seeking justice and creative means of ensuring the safety and health of all community members. I will approach my duties as judge with compassion, intellect, and impartiality to best serve our community in the years to come. My endorsements include a wide range of citizens and local leaders, including Sheriff Dan Kimball, Treasurer Robin Hunt, Judge Christine Pomeroy, and Capital Kids Connection.
