Hi, I'm Doug North.
As your elected official,
I have faithfully served
the people of King County
for 20 years
as a superior court judge.
I'm proud to be endorsed by
over 110 current and former judges
from the state Supreme Court,
Court of Appeals, and trial courts
throughout Washington state
as well as six Democratic
district organizations
and the Protec 17 Labor Union.
I've also been rated
Exceptionally Well Qualified
and Well Qualified
by 6 bar associations.
The pandemic has caused
an enormous backlog of court cases,
and the court system
is rapidly adapting to this.
We've set up Zoom trials
and seen an astounding increase
in jury participation,
allowing for
a more diverse representation
of King County residents.
I am the only candidate in this race
that has 20 years of experience
handling complex legal issues
such as serious criminal cases,
family law matters,
and large civil actions.
The people of King County
cannot afford to have
an inexperienced judge
handling this backlog of cases
and learning on the job.
As a lifelong
Washington state resident,
I raised two children
with my wife Lorrie.
Over the last 35 years,
I have actively fought
to protect the environment
while enjoying hiking, biking,
and river rafting.
Before I was elected
to the court in 2000,
I spent 23 years
representing ordinary people
in court.
I fought and won for the mom
not awarded enough child support
for her and her kids,
for the unemployed worker
denied unemployment insurance,
and the homeowners
who fought a private power company
against the arbitrary condemnation
of their land.
I am the only candidate in this race
that has fought
for individual clients
and upheld their rights in court.
There's much at stake
in this upcoming election.
Please visit my website at judgedougnorth.com
for more information,
and please vote
for the only candidate
that has the experience
and qualifications
the people of King County deserve.
Thank you.
