Susan Amini has the exclusive
endorsements of the Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer!
Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
"For
Position 1, we endorse Susan Amini. Her pro tem experience combined
with her varied professional background, community activism and focus
in providing access to justice make her an ideal candidate. ... Amini
brings the sorts of extras to the table that are crucial – experience
in immigration law, family law, including domestic violence and
juvenile cases.
The
Seattle Times:
"We endorse Susan Amini, 50,
for some special reasons. ... In Bellevue she built up a private practice in
family law, personal injury, immigration and criminal defense. She knows the
problems of immigrants and has become an expert on the rights of the
disabled."
James Nickle, Chief, King County
Sheriff, ret:
"Susan Amini honors the rule of law and will keep our communities safe"
I am honored to be running for
Superior Court Judge, and pledge that, once elected, I will work to improve
access to justice for all.
Superior Court Judges preside over
criminal and civil cases; I have extensive experience with both, including
hundreds of trials throughout the entire County. I also have family law
experience, which is badly needed on the bench.
I am the only candidate in this race
with judicial experience. As a Pro Tem Judge, I am known for being fair
but firm on the bench, holding offenders accountable, while ensuring that all
parties have an opportunity to be heard.
I have served as a Trustee of
Overlake Hospital, a Bellevue Human Services Commissioner, and an arbitrator
for the Washington State Bar. I have received Exceptionally Well Qualified and Well Qualified ratings from the Latina/Latino Bar and the King County
Bar Association, and the sole endorsement of the American
Immigration Lawyers Association (Washington Chapter).
My other endorsers include The Seattle Times, The Seattle P-I, King County Democrats, King County Labor Council, Washington State
Women's Political Caucus, Governor Christine Gregoire, Former Governor
Gary Locke, King County Executive Ron Sims, Former U.S. Attorney John McKay,
retired King County Sheriff James Nickle, Speaker of the State House Frank
Chopp, Roberto Maestas, Nancy Rising, Bob Santos, Ruth Woo, the 1st, 5th, 30th, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 37th, 41st, 45th, 46th, 47th, and 48th
Democratic Legislative Districts, and over fifty judges and elected
officials.
It is my sincere hope that this website will serve as an introduction to my
commitment to our community and my dedication to upholding the rule of law.
I welcome the opportunity to speak
with and listen to my fellow King County residents.
