Bench time will pay off

Sat., Aug. 14, 2010

Experience does count. As I am sure that Laurel Siddoway would support the proposition that her legal experience will assist her on the Court of Appeals, Harvey Dunham’s experience as a lawyer and a judge will also assist him on the Court of Appeals.

I personally have appeared before numerous courts throughout the state of Washington and know that based upon my experience and discussion with many other lawyers, Mr. Dunham is well qualified for the Court of Appeals.

Each judicial election period all the judges tout their judicial experience, as not only significant, but vital. This election is no different. I support Mr. Dunham and believe he will prove to be a fine Court of Appeals judge.
