Hilyer has experience

Thu., Aug. 2, 2012

As a Superior Court Judge in our community for 18 years, I stand with over 150 trial judges statewide in support of Judge Bruce Hilyer for Washington State Supreme Court. He is the only candidate with experience as a trial judge. He is the only candidate who understands what it means to face real live people in the courtroom every day, and to explain to those people why you are deciding their case the way you are. It is that courtroom experience that sets Hilyer apart. I urge you to vote for Bruce Hilyer for Washington State Supreme Court, Position 9.
