The voters of Grays Harbor County have an important position on the ballot in November — Superior Court Judge.

I’m writing to lend my full support to Judge Ray Kahler, and I encourage each and every voter to join me.

For more than 20 years I have had the privilege of getting to know him as a practicing attorney, community activist and volunteer, father, husband and friend.

His integrity is unparalleled. His commitment to our community through his many years as a volunteer in a number of non-profit entities has helped bring about positive changes to Grays Harbor County in accessing mental health care for our citizens, economic development for our area and working diligently over many years to refurbish Grays Harbor’s own historic 7th Street Theatre.

As a former State Representative representing Grays Harbor for 18 years, I’m fully aware of the importance of our judges bringing stability to our lives and our community through the rule of law.

Please join me in voting for Judge Ray Kahler on Nov. 7.
