My favorite campaign activity was doorbelling and building personal connections with people in the community. I was privileged to be invited into people’s homes to talk about the court system, the rule of law, and judicial independence. I listened to their concerns and suggestions about court governance. The face-to-face contact gave me an opportunity to share my story of coming to Washington as a refugee and how that life experience has shaped my work ethic, my commitment that courts must be fair and equitable, and at the same time, holding people to account for their conduct.
I had great time visiting the retirement community. The residents were engaging and inquisitive, asking all sorts of questions about me, my work, and the court system. I also participated in some of their scheduled activities, the most memorable being the Halloween Karaoke Party! They were not shy to sing their hearts out!
There were too many worthwhile events and causes, and I tried to attend as many as I could. The events I attended left me inspired and awed at the human spirit and resilience. I heard stories from young leaders at the YMCA Future Leaders event that gave me courage and hope. At the “Love in the Soup” event, strong individuals told their heartfelt and powerful stories of their recover journeys. On a lighter note, I visited community gatherings and fairs in Lynnwood, Monroe, and Mountlake Terrace. One notable event was the Annual Health Fair in Tulalip. I visited the Snohomish County Legal Services and NW Justice Project table. The legal services organization is near-and-dear to my heart. From my law school years to my years as a judge, I either worked for a legal services employer, volunteered at a legal clinic, or served on a legal services board.
