Sypolt has experience

For the position of a Superior Court judge, experience matters. Judge Greg Sypolt has the extensive experience our Superior Court system needs. He has presided over civil, criminal, juvenile and family law cases, currently serving as the Superior Court chief criminal judge. He is well-respected and endorsed by judges, attorneys and peers throughout the state. In 2012, he received the “Distinguished Judicial Service Award.”

A recent Spokane County Bar Association poll rated Judge Sypolt significantly higher than his challenger in all categories, including legal ability, temperament and integrity. The Spokesman-Review, resoundingly, endorsed him. “Exceptionally well-qualified” was the rating from The Washington Women Lawyers. I encourage everyone to vote for incumbent Judge Greg Sypolt.
