So I found out that North is running against Ladd in the judicial race and I think this might be the only one that is opposed, North is the incumbent but I am a very strong supporter of Ladd and I figured I should say something about why.

It really comes down to how I, a queer community lawyer with a deliberately low powered practice met the chief employment attorney for Boeing.

She comes to name change clinics, pretty much all of them, to be a notary.

I had no idea what her job was for the first two years I knew her, I didn't even know she was an attorney.

I only found out when I ran into her last year at candidate training and she confided she was considering running for Judge.

Here is the thing though. She doesn't have any connection to the queer community and we all kind of wondered why she does it.

Someone asked her. She saw people transition at work and saw how hard it was so she takes the opportunities she can to make it just a little bit easier.

Empathy lead action is exactly what I want in a Judge.
