Please note: I have made the decision to not seek the endorsements of practicing attorneys in Clallam County. As a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, it is not appropriate for a prosecutor to seek or receive endorsements from attorneys representing defendants that I am prosecuting. It creates the appearance of impropriety and negatively impacts the appearance of fairness. I have also chosen not to seek or accept endorsements from prosecutors. As prosecutors are ministers of justice, it is inappropriate for any prosecutor to use their position of authority or title for political purposes or to sway voters.
