SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE


Hulbert most qualified, experienced

The list of candidates for Superior Court judge is long and the decision is crucial. Experience and knowledge of court procedure are vital. This is not a position for “on-the-job training.”

I believe Snohomish County needs the most qualified and experienced candidate to fill this vacancy, one who is ready to assume its duties immediately. After reviewing the field of candidates, I am giving my full support to Judge Dave Hulbert. He brings an extensive range of experience, having served as prosecutor for Snohomish, Marysville, Sultan and Mukilteo, and also as deputy prosecuting attorney for Snohomish County.

Even more important, Judge Hulbert has 12 years of capable experience as a Superior Court judge in our county, with a well-established working knowledge of all court proceedings and the rule of law. He has the proven track record to handle the responsibilities of Superior Court judge, with our county’s citizens benefiting from his experience and expertise. No other candidate offers the experience and qualifications in which to entrust this position.

Judge Hulbert’s ethic is: “I want Snohomish County to be the worst place for criminals and the best place to raise a family.” He has given back to our community, volunteering as a Lake Stevens Little League coach for many years, and has been active in community affairs.

Let’s fill this vital Superior Court judgeship with the most qualified, experienced candidate. I encourage my fellow citizens to vote for Judge Dave Hulbert.
