"Every case we hear in the Clallam County Superior Court can be appealed to the Court of Appeals. It is important that an appellate judge have clear thinking, a full knowledge of the law and the experience to apply the law fairly in any given situation. Judge Hunt has these attributes and has excelled as an appellate court judge. Please vote to retain her."
