Thank you for the honor of serving as your King County Prosecuting Attorney. Our mission is not justto win cases, but to serve the cause of justice with fairness and integrity. I am extremely proud to leada group of highly professional men and women who strive to uphold these ideals every day.

My number one priority has always been to prosecute aggressively the thousands of criminal casesthat come to my office. At the same time, I have and will continue to play a strong leadership role inseeking innovative reform of our criminal justice system.

Several of my top priorities over the next four years will be:• Safety in our schools: Schools must be a place where our children can be nurtured and educated

free of the fear of weapons, drugs and violence. I will continue to work hard to make every school campussafe for kids who want to learn.

• Protection of the vulnerable: As our population ages, the chance that the elderly will becomevictims of physical abuse, neglect and economic crimes increases. I will work to protect our seniorcitizens and make sure the criminal justice system is sensitive and responsive to the special needs ofthis population.

• Reform of drug laws: Drug laws should be tough and emphasize accountability — but also hold outhope for redemption through treatment. To bring a balance between treatment and punishment, I beganthe first drug court in the state and last year led a successful bi-partisan legislative effort to redirect fundsfrom the prison system to the drug treatment programs.

It is my honor to serve as your Prosecuting Attorney. Thank you for the trust that you have placed inme.CAMPAIGN ADDRESS: PO Box 9158, Seattle, WA 98109 E-MAIL: Maleng2002@aol.com

Since I have no opponent in this election I wish to take this opportunity to thank the voters who have electedand re-elected me to the Federal Way Division of the King County District Court over the last 10 years. Thiswill be the last election in which the Federal Way Division will exist. In 2003 the King County Council’s newredistricting plan will take effect making the Federal Way Division a part of the South Division which willencompass the current District Courts of Renton, Aukeen, Southwest and Federal Way.

The District Court is truly the “People’s Court.” The combined criminal and civil caseload of the new SouthDivision will total more than 80,000 filings per year. Most citizens will never have contact with any other courtduring their entire lives.

District Court also summons jurors to hear criminal and civil matters. I wish to publicly thank those jurors whoaccepted the responsibilities of citizenship and served in our courts. We could not function effectively withoutthese citizens who are an essential part of the justice process.

I look forward to serving South King County as a Judge in the District Court.

The privilege I have had the past ten years serving the citizens of the fastest growing area of KingCounty has been accompanied by many challenges. Our semi-rural area has become urban, congestedand commercial. Each year, it becomes increasingly important that I work closely with the four citiesI serve, law enforcement, schools and community groups to ensure safety and accountability for allcitizens. In the next four years, I look forward to building upon the excellent relationships I have developedwith all these groups. Budget cuts imposed by King County government have had a severe impact onour ability to provide the kind of efficient court services we all have a right to expect. I intend to work hardto do “more with less,” and ensure that the courthouse remains an integral part of the community.

Early identification of children in danger and effective intervention is crucial to reducing the number ofpersons in our jails and the cost of criminal justice as a whole. (It is often too late, and certainly moreexpensive, when children in danger have become dangerous children or adults). Such interventionrequires adequate funding of the courts, prosecutor, public defender, police, jail, and services for indigentindividuals who need drug/alcohol, mental health, domestic violence, and anger management treatmentor parenting, independent living skills, and other educational classes. Further budgetary cuts in theseareas will have short and long-term detrimental consequences affecting the safety of our community. Weshould not simply stop treating, educating, arresting, prosecuting, or sending criminals to jail, becausethe cost seems high now. The cost will be much higher later.

Judge Harn is fair, experienced and committed to the District Court and her community. Re-elect JudgeHarn.

I have been privileged to serve all the people of King County as the District Court Judge in theSouthwest Division for the past twelve years. And I take this privilege very seriously every day. We believethat an honest, impartial and law abiding judiciary is essential to our legal system and democracy. Ourjudiciary protects individual rights and society’s values against anyone or anything that would deprive us.I work hard every day to uphold our laws, to appear and act fairly to everyone, and to be patient with everyperson in my court regardless of their ethnic background, native language, and physical or mentaldisabilities.

In the past four years, I started the District Court Relicensing Program for King County. This programhelps hundreds of people pay or work off their traffic ticket fines and get their drivers licenses as well asmotor vehicle insurance. It is in our best interests for all of us to be driving the roads with other licensedand insured drivers.

As a judge, I am a dedicated public servant, and I will continue to work hard for the next four years.CAMPAIGN ADDRESS: 601 S.W. 149th, Burien, WA 98166 TELEPHONE: 206.296.0132 E-MAIL:victoria.seitz@metrokc.gov
