Incumbent Judge Damon Shadid is running for re-election to his Position 7 seat on the Seattle Municipal Court. Shadid was first elected to the court in 2014 and has been a strong voice for treatment, support, and accountability on the bench. Previously, he worked in legal defense for women facing abusers in court as well as refugees and other non-citizen defendants. Shadid has also been a community leader in working towards racial justice in our legal system including founding the Middle Eastern Legal Association of Washington and serving on multiple equity-focused committees and projects.
Shadid has a progressive vision for the criminal legal system: delivering justice that keeps our community safe and connecting people with the resources and services they need to get out of the criminal legal system. He helped re-establish the city’s mental health court and has fought to involve case workers in court in a more effective, collaborative way. His judicial track record and commitment to progressive alternatives have earned him an impressive list of endorsements in this race including all Seattle-based Democratic organizations, local progressive officials, and key judicial leaders.
Assistant City Attorney Nyjat Rose-Atkins is challenging Shadid in this race. Outside the city attorney’s office where she has worked for more than a decade, Rose-Atkins works as a pro tem judge for the district court. She is running with a somewhat more conservative approach to the criminal legal system, including wanting to roll back diversion programs and alternatives that reduce prison overcrowding and help community members get the resources they need.
Shadid has been an exceptional leader in the court and is helping build a safer and more resilient Seattle. He deserves your vote for another term on the city’s municipal court.Damon Shadid

Patty Murray
La senadora Patty Murray ha sido una voz progresista consistente y fuerte en el Senado de los Estados Unidos. Ella está buscando la reelección para continuar luchando por nuestros derechos básicos y una mejor calidad de vida en Washington y más allá.
Debido a una iniciativa de Tim Eyman, la Legislatura está obligada a presentar cualquier proyecto de ley que apruebe que cierre las lagunas fiscales o aumente los ingresos a un voto consultivo no vinculante. La Legislatura tuvo una sesión históricamente productiva en 2021, lo que resultó en varios votos consultivos que aparecieron en la boleta. Esperamos que la Legislatura cambie la ley para eliminar estas medidas sin sentido en el futuro.
