Judge Mary Logan is running for re-election for Spokane Municipal Court, Position 2. Logan has been on the Spokane Municipal Court bench since 2009, bringing experience, community involvement, and a commitment to criminal justice reform. She holds a political science degree from the University of Montana and earned her law degree from the Monterey College of Law. She advocates for fairness and accountability in a system that too often fails marginalized people. Before becoming a judge, she practiced law, including medical malpractice and city defense work, and served in the Spokane Public Defender’s Office.
Logan supports approaches to the law that go beyond punishment, treating the underlying causes of crime, such as mental health, substance use, and homelessness, as problems to be addressed holistically, not just cases. This is demonstrated by her leadership in starting Spokane’s Community Court model, which takes court proceedings out of traditional courtrooms and into community settings. This connects participants to services like housing, treatment, and support, rather than defaulting to incarceration.
Given her experience and leadership in the community, as demonstrated by the creation of the community court, we strongly recommend Mary Logan for re-election to Position 2 on the Spokane Municipal Court.
