To the Editors
I am
writing to support the candidacy of Joan White for County Clerk. Although I have only recently become licensed
in Washington State, I have been a practicing lawyer for over thirty years and
I've interacted with many county clerks.
What has impressed me the most about Joan White's running of the county
clerk's office is not only the willingness to patiently help attorneys, but
also the willingness to help members of the public navigate their way through
filing and procedures with which they are not familiar. This is in contrast to what I have witnessed
in other offices, where clerks are irritable with anyone who asks questions or
needs information. Additionally, the
county clerk's job is to keep things running smoothly, with documents being
where they are supposed to be, and not disappearing. Joan's operation of the clerk's office has
been outstanding, and I fully back her re-election as County Clerk.
Very truly yours,
