As a member of the Snohomish County legal community with more than 40 years of experience in the courtroom, I am strongly urging the voters of Snohomish County to vote to retain Judge Whitney Rivera on our Superior Court bench. She has dedicated her career to serving the people of Snohomish County. She first served as a public defender for 14 years, starting as a trial attorney followed by nearly 7 years as an appellate public defender. Judge Rivera then served as an Edmonds Municipal Court Judge for 3 years before her appointment earlier this year to the Snohomish County Superior Court bench.
At every step of Judge Rivera’s professional career she has worked hard and tried to make the system better. She has always demonstrated a passion for the law, getting it right, making sure other people got it right; whether she was defending the indigent or presiding over trials.
Judge Rivera is hard-working and intelligent. She was a highly respected trial lawyer before becoming a judge. She has been rated “Exceptionally Well Qualified” by five independent Bar associations. Of significant note: She is endorsed by law enforcement, a significant accomplishment for a former public defender. She is dedicated to the rule of law and has compassion. Her work throughout her career has demonstrated her keen understanding of how important her work is to her community.
Please join us in voting to retain Judge Whitney Rivera on the Snohomish County Superior Court bench.
