Superior Court Position 1

For King County Superior Court Judge Position 01, there are two candidates on the ballot. Senior Deputy King County Prosecutor Tim Bradshaw is running against Assistant State Attorney General Sue Parisien.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Bradshaw took the August Primary Election with nearly a majority of the vote (over 46%); Assistant Attorney General Parisien received just under 30% of the primary votes.

The Voting for Judges website (of course) has more information on the two candidates than I could find anywhere else. This race really seems much easier to decide on than the two other contested Superior Court races on my ballot. Senior Deputy Prosecutor Bradshaw has been a prosecutor for over 20 years, has participated in 125 jury trails in Superior Court, and has extensive experience in both criminal and civil law. Assistant Attorney General Parisien has worked in the state Attorney General's Office on-and-off for 10 years (with time away working as an in-house counsel for Nordstroms and as an opposition researcher for Christine Gregiore's 2004 campaign). Parisien lists just 11 jury trials worth of experience in Superior Court.

I find that Tim Bradshaw's vast experience serving in the Superior Courts makes him the clear choice.

I am voting for Tim Bradshaw for King County Superior Court Judge Position 1.
