Retain Judge Leland

Sun., Oct. 19, 2014

Voting for judges is often a difficult choice for many voters, so I would like to tell why our community should vote to retain Judge Richard Leland for Spokane County District Court Position 8.

Leland’s experience includes almost 25 years of work as an attorney handling criminal, civil and family law cases. He has been recognized for his work with victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.

I also have the pleasure of knowing Leland personally. He is a person of high character and values. He is a devoted husband and father and has been involved in countless community activities ranging from youth sports to charitable organizations.

Please vote for Richard Leland when your ballot arrives in the mail.
