Incumbent Judge Anna Gigliotti is running for re-election to Grant County Superior Court, Judge Position 1. Gigliotti joined the court in 2021 through an appointment by Gov. Inslee. Before the superior court, she worked as a district court commissioner, a pro tem judge, and a deputy prosecutor in Grant County.
Gigliotti is a dedicated community leader with a wide range of local legal experience. She supports establishing a drug court for Grant County to deliver services and treatment to those who need it most, leading to fewer people behind bars. Gigliotti also wants to modernize the county’s legal system to improve access and equity. She was rated "exceptionally well qualified" by the Veteran's Bar Association of Washington and has earned an impressive, bipartisan list of endorsements in this race.
Melissa Chlarson, a Grant County District Court commissioner, is the other candidate in this race. Chlarson previously worked as a private practice attorney and was a former board member of the Moses Lake Community Health Center. She wants to serve the community by bringing her experience and temperament to the bench.
Judge Gigliotti is the best choice in this race and deserves your vote to remain in Position 1 on the Grant County Superior Court.

Because of a Tim Eyman initiative, the Legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a non-binding advisory vote. The Legislature had a historically productive 2022 session, resulting in several advisory votes appearing on the ballot. We hope the Legislature will change the law to remove these meaningless measures in the future.
