He’s our state’s toughest prosecutor

Does The Herald ever tire of its political bias?

Once again, The Herald runs a story about our county prosecutor, Jim Krider, that predictably shows favoritism towards his opponent in this fall’s election. (Sept. 12 “Bar poll favors the challengers in 2 of 3 races”). This time, the story is about a group of about a hundred lawyers who don’t like Jim Krider.

My guess is those attorneys probably were on the losing side of a criminal case whose client Jim Krider has put behind bars, making our community safer.

The fact of the matter is Jim Krider is Washington’s toughest prosecutor. Despite the fact some disenfranchised attorneys and a biased local newspaper think otherwise, Snohomish County is well served by Jim Krider, and he has my total support.
