Lynn Hayes

 

Thurston County District Court

Position Two

Lynn HayesA Washingtonian, Lynn has demonstrated her depth of knowledge of criminal and civil law for over 27 years. She has shown compassion and empathy as a judicial officer. As Court Commissioner in judging those who have been alleged to suffer from mental disorders, she treats the most vulnerable of our society with dignity and respect. She supports Mental Health Treatment Court. District Court often is an individual’s first contact with the court system and her ability to listen and allow opportunities to be heard to those who come before her is excellent. With the anticipated increase in civil and criminal cases, she is the most qualified choice with her years of experience. She has the integrity, knowledge, and skills to be fair, reasonable and serve the public with the utmost ability. She is the only candidate who has attended Judicial College. She deserves your vote and will promote justice.
