Federal Way Municipal CourtPosition OneThis race will appear on the primary ballot. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes cast, there will be a runoff between the top two candidates in the November general election.
Occupation: Municipal Court Judge Education: Vanderbilt B.A.; Notre Dame and Seattle University Law Schools Candidate Statement: Your judge should be a community leader. I raise my family in Federal Way and remain active in local charities and legal education programs. My opponents limited interest in Federal Way has been mostly in pursuit of this position. I am a fair and decisive judge which is why none of my decisions have been overturned on appeal. I have been rated Exceptionally Well-Qualified and am endorsed by judges, lawyers, community leaders, law enforcement officials, Democrats, Republicans, and former Governors. Some critics have made unfair judgments about me and our court based on second hand information. A court manager with first hand information said that she never worked for a more outstanding judge. Our court is profitable while increasing services to the poor, at risk youth, and to crime victims. I would appreciate your vote so I can continue to make our community safe for my family and your family. |
