Incumbent Judge Gary Hintze is running to retain his seat on the Yakima County District Court. Hintze joined the court in March of this year when he was appointed to replace the retiring Judge Kevin Roy. Hintze worked in the county prosecutor’s office for more than two decades where he was a trial lawyer, including presenting cases in front of the district court.
Though he doesn’t have a particularly progressive vision for the court, Hintze is a well-respected and consistent voice on the bench. If retained, he wants to continue delivering fair and equal justice and respecting the dignity of all who come before him. Hintz has earned an impressive roster of endorsements from judges, attorneys, law enforcement officers, and members of the community.
Wes Gano, Hintze’s challenger in this race, is a litigation attorney at a private practice and a local pro tem judge. Gano previously served on the Selah Municipal Court as the presiding judge. He is running on a vague platform that emphasizes his past experience without mentioning goals for the seat or the court.
Gary Hintze is the best choice in this race for Judge Position 1 on the Yakima District Court because of his well-rounded legal experience and his deep knowledge of the 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.
