I support Lorrie Towers for the position of Everett District Court judge in the upcoming election.
As prosecuting attorney for the city of Mukilteo for more than seven years in the Everett District Court, Lorrie Towers ethically could not serve as a judge pro tem in the same court. Her opponent’s ads portray that Lorrie Towers lacks the experience to be a District Court judge because her opponent has served in the Everett District Court as a judge pro tem. This is far from the truth and all should know that her experience as a jurist is unmatched.
It should be brought to everyone’s attention the importance of electing Lorrie Towers to the position of Everett District Court judge. She is clearly the most deserving candidate, with the experience, support and ability necessary to put on the black robe. She will provide the leadership to maintain the integrity of the Everett District Court.
I have worked with Lorrie Towers for over 15 years. My firm prosecutes for eight cities in Snohomish County and I am personally knowledgeable of her work ethic from the bench as a judge pro tem and as a prosecutor. She has been practicing as a prosecutor in the Everett District Court for eight years and has the overwhelming support and backing of the Everett District Court staff and the retiring judge. While I may not always agree with her decisions, I certainly respect and laud her knowledge of the law, her dedication to protecting the rights of the people who appear before her and enforce the law, which at times is lacking in our court systems.
Thank you for this opportunity to set the record straight.
