Editor,

In regards to the Feb. 28 article concerning the three-way race for Island County Superior Court Judge, I note that it is easy to dismiss a relatively unknown candidate such as Kathleen Petrich.

With only minimal effort, one can discover that Ms. Petrich possesses a vast and comprehensive experience with, and mastery of, the complex nuances in the legal community locally.

I hope that all concerned voters will take the time to get to know Kathleen Petrich prior to the Aug. 4 vote.

Ms. Petrich will make an excellent and fair Superior Court Judge for all of us in Island County.
