Mike Mitchell will be an effective and proficient Superior Court Judge

Dear Editor:

Mike Mitchell is a man of integrity, honesty and a person who will be an excellent Superior Court Judge. I have known and worked with Mike during my 43-year career at Walla Walla County.

When I worked as Director of the Department of Court Services and later as Director of Walla Walla County Corrections, I served at the pleasure of thirteen different Superior Court Judges in both Walla Walla and Columbia counties. I am familiar with the qualities and expertise that Superior Court Judges must possess to be effective and proficient in their positions. Mike Mitchell possess those qualities.

I am recommending that voters support and elect Mike Mitchell to the position of Superior Court Judge of Walla Walla County. Walla Walla County voters have a fine tradition of electing qualified individuals to this especially important position in our justice system. Let us continue to keep that tradition alive. Vote Mike Mitchell for Superior Court Judge.
