The Best Choice for Superior Court
Ann Danieli has served with distinction as a Superior Court Judge Pro Tem and Superior Court Commissioner Pro Tem, and as a District & Municipal Court Judge and Magistrate Pro Tem. Ann has also been a prosecuting attorney, public defender and an attorney in private practice. She’s been an attorney for twenty six years.
Ann has earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues in the legal community for both her deep knowledge of the law and her tough but fair and consistent approach to the troubled youth who appear in her Courtroom.
Ann has also earned the respect of many throughout our community for the thousands of hours she has donated as a volunteer and tutor helping to make King County a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
This is why so many community leaders, activists, and citizen organizations of diverse backgrounds are working tirelessly to ensure Ann Danieli’s election on August 19th to the newly created position #53 on the King County Superior Court.
Dept 53 Is a NEW King County Superior Court Position
Dept 53 is newly created, there is NO incumbent running for this position. Ann Danieli is the only candidate with Superior Court experience in this race. Do not be confused by misleading campaign literature which intimates an incumbent in this position.
