Judge Bui is the kind of colleague you trust, and the kind of leader communities can count on. She serves with purpose and passion, on the bench and in the classroom, mentoring the next generation.
I endorse Judge Tam Bui for the Court of Appeals. She will be an effective member of the bench bringing leadership, a keen intellectual capacity and a strong work ethic to the decisions that impact the people of the State of Washington.
I know Judge Tam Bui during my time serving as a State Trooper, Snohomish County Sheriff, Snohomish County Executive, and State Representative and Senator. Judge Bui is a dedicated, kind, and fair public servant who cares about improving the system for everyone. She has over two decades of experience serving the public, on the bench and in the community. Judge Bui brings the deep knowledge of the legal system and the community to the Court of Appeals.
As Mayor, I appreciate the importance of listening and working with others to get a job done. With over two decades of judicial experience, Judge Bui has a proven record of doing just that. Her collaboration with others to create the county’s first mental health court shows her dedication to improving the system. She would bring the same dedication and proven experience to the Court of Appeals.

For seven years, Judge Bui and I co-teach a civics class Jackson High School. I have been a teacher for 35 years and a football coach for 21 years, and I can clearly see her dedication to her students. She cares about the community beyond the courtroom and is a committed partner to educate the next generation of leaders. The State of Washington and Snohomish County would be well served to have Judge Bui on the Court of Appeals.
