As I campaigned across all parts of the county this year, it has been my honor to connect with people who valued my long devotion to public service. Participating in festivals and parades in every part of the county was hard work for my campaign team but a true joy for me and my family. Thank you for welcoming us into your celebrations and conversations. Above all else, I tried to run an honest campaign because I believe the voters deserve nothing less — especially in a judicial race. While my defeat in this election saddens many of us, it has been my honor to serve. Thank you to those who gave me this opportunity.”

I am grateful that this effort paid off and that I have retained my position on the bench. I will be required to run for re-election again next year and hope to have the support of the people of Snohomish County again. Thank you for the confidence you have shown in me.”
