As its former presiding judge, I take great interest in the makeup of the Snohomish County Superior Court. The people of Snohomish County are fortunate to have a number of dedicated and talented judges on the bench. It is important to maintain this level of excellence.
In the race for Snohomish County Superior Court, Position 13, only one candidate has the necessary combination of legal experience and common sense required to be a good judge. As a lawyer, Michael Downes appeared in thousands of Superior Court hearings. He handled some of the longest and most complex trials the county has seen in recent memory. He is knowledgeable and experienced in the law and in courtroom procedure. On the bench, Judge Michael Downes immediately and successfully began to apply that knowledge and experience to his duties hearing trials. This is the kind of background and experience we need in our judges. This is the kind of judge we need to keep on our court.
Judge Michael Downes is the only qualified candidate for the Snohomish County Superior Court, Position 13. Please join me in voting to maintain the highest level of performance for our court. Vote to retain Judge Michael Downes, Snohomish County Superior Court.
