The Seattle-King County Municipal League released its candidate ratings for this year's legislative and judicial races. Sue is proud to have received the highest rating issued in this race, "Very Good."
According to the Municipal League:
The nonpartisan ratings are based on four criteria: Knowledge, Involvement, Effectiveness and Character. The ratings assess each candidate's potential to be effective in office and ability to serve the community. They don't consider political affiliations or stands on specific issues. Candidates aren't rated against each other.
This year's ratings are the result of the work of 60 citizens from throughout King County who volunteered for the Municipal League's Candidate Evaluation Committee. They studied the public record, reviewed candidate questionnaires, checked references and conducted live interviews with the candidates. Each rating was carefully reviewed by the Municipal League's trustees.
"The League's rating process is similar to a job interview for candidates, with a diverse group of citizens serving as hiring managers," said Brad Meacham, Municipal League Chair. "This is a time-tested process that provides a useful tool for voters.".
Candidates received one of six ratings: Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Adequate, Not Qualified, or No Active Campaign. The Municipal League attempted to contact every candidate. Candidates were rated even if they declined to participate in the process. The volunteers in the rating process are required to refrain from active involvement in campaigns or political parties during this election season. The Municipal League's trustees must step aside from the ratings process whenever they have connections to any candidate in any particular race.

Every day, in every courtroom across this state, judges are making important decisions that affect each and every one of us in countless ways. This takes experience, integrity and commitment. As a private attorney, public servant, and active community volunteer those same qualities have defined me -- and they've helped me earn bar ratings of "Exceptionally Well Qualified" and "Well Qualified".
I hope you'll take time to explore my website and learn more about me and what I will bring to the court. But I also want to hear your thoughts on how the court can be more accessible and responsive to those it serves.
