Over the years Judge Hulbert has enjoyed support and endorsements from judges, law enforcement, attorneys, community leaders, and was elected three times by Snohomish County voters.

With a reputation for being honest and fair, Judge Hulbert wants Snohomish County to be the toughest place for criminals and the best place to live and raise our families.

Judge Hulbert believes that every citizen deserves their day in court and to know that the judge is fair, considerate, and understands the law.

This year the Snohomish County Bar Association's evaluation resulted in Judge Hulbert's opponent (Lucas) receiving the worst rating of any judge in Snohomish County! In addition to this harsh evaluation, numerous attorneys with cases assigned to him (Lucas) filed affidavits of prejudice against him, requesting that he not be allowed to hear their case.

ELECT JUDGE DAVID HULBERT Snohomish County Superior Court. PROTECT YOUR SAFETY … restore trust and know-how to the Superior Court bench.
