Tessandore has utmost integrity

I’d like to thank the Snohomish County Washington Women Lawyers and Snohomish County Bar Association for hosting the candidate forum on Sept. 30 at the Monte Cristo Hotel to help the public choose the next judge to replace my late husband, James H. Allendoerfer.

I am endorsing Rico Tessandore for this position because I believe that Rico has the experience, work ethic and utmost integrity to be an excellent Superior Court judge. Being the son of a single mom gives him a leg up to deal with the many child custody cases that will come before him.

Rico also served as a deputy prosecuting attorney, which will also give him experience in dealing with criminal matters.

Rico has the heart and soul to be a judge who follows the Golden Rule.
