I am Hillary Madsen.
I'm running for
King County Superior Court,
Position 13.
I'm an experienced lawyer
trained as a pro tem judge,
a working mom of three children,
and a former union member.
I will combine common sense
and broad legal experience
in my judgements
to ensure a fair legal system
for everyone.
I have broad legal experience.
I've represented diverse clients,
including foster children,
immigrants,
people who are incarcerated,
crime victims, and businesses.
I have taught classes to lawyers
and authored
educational materials for judges.
I have worked in big firms,
small firms, government,
and nonprofit.
I have represented clients
in trials, appeals,
and the state legislature.
I am committed to community.
I have fought to strengthen
our juvenile record-sealing laws,
to challenge the use
of solitary confinement
against kids,
and to investigate abuse
against immigrants in detention.
Working with judges,
public defenders, prosecutors,
child and immigrant rights advocates,
I will bring
a big-picture view
to solve complex problems
facing our legal system.
I believe everyone
deserves justice.
I've been honored with endorsements
by former Governor Christine Gregoire,
Lieutenant Governor Cyrus Habib,
County Executive Dow Constantine,
Washington Supreme Court
Chief Justice Debra Stephens,
and the incumbent
Judge Theresa Doyle.
I am highly rated
by lawyer associations.
I am also endorsed by over
100 elected officials and judges,
Democrats and Republicans,
and unions.
I am the best candidate
to bring reform.
And I'm committed
to seeing and hearing
marginalized people.
I have the broad legal experience
the King County Superior Court needs.
I have the right experience
for right now.
And I'd be honored
to have your vote.
