Statement: You deserve a judge who will listen respectfully and impartially to understand all sides of legal disputes. I am committed to being prepared, diligent and fair. As a current Thurston County Superior Court judge, I have demonstrated a commitment to these principles while presiding over criminal, civil, juvenile, and family law matters, and appeals from administrative agencies. Coming from a military family, I have been devoted to community service for 32 years.

I have a deep sense of responsibility to our citizens. I have a broad array of supporters, including endorsers from all levels of court, such as Chief Justice Barbara Madsen and former Chief Justice Gerry Alexander; former Secretaries of State Ralph Munro and Sam Reed; former Congressman Norm Dicks; Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. I invite you to visit my website to learn more information about why I am a good choice to serve on the appellate court. I respectfully ask for your vote, Lisa Sutton for Court of Appeals.
