After 32 years as a Kitsap County District Court Judge, I am retiring from the position. The citizens of Kitsap County have the opportunity to select my successor by casting their vote this November. I am proud of my service to the citizens of this county and have a strong interest in maintaining the excellent reputation of our bench. For that reason, I strongly urge you to vote for Claire Bradley.

I have known Claire for many years both personally and professionally. She is extremely experienced in the work we do in our court, and I have found her to be highly professional at all times. Her temperament and demeanor will be a major asset to the bench. She is clearly the most qualified as recognized by all trial court judges in Kitsap County who have endorsed her.

I encourage voters to vote for Claire as the clear choice to replace me as the next Kitsap County District Court Judge.

Judge James M. Riehl
