Editor,

Over the course of the last 25 years, my late husband and I retained attorney Carolyn Cliff to assist us with several different legal issues. We were impressed with Carolyn’s intelligence, professionalism and thoroughness, and we loved it when her wit and sense of humor shone through at appropriate moments.

Carolyn helped us to consider all aspects of pertinent issues.

When she was not familiar with relevant local laws and policies involved with our issues, she researched them deeply.

I can think of no one who would be a better superior court judge for Island County.

Because Carolyn is a long-time resident of Whidbey Island, her familiarity with our county’s communities and our issues and regulations is a huge bonus.

I’ll be voting for Carolyn in the general election this fall, and I hope that you will too.
