Statement: Justice, dedication, and diligence have been my guiding principles throughout my career. I have worked as an attorney for over 28 years, with 23 of those years in Skagit and Whatcom counties. I have served the citizens of Skagit County as Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor since 2007.

As a prosecutor I have worked hard to keep our communities safe for our children and families while protecting the rights of those accused of crimes. A prosecutor is charged with seeking justice. I have a proven track record of seeking justice by looking at all the facts, applying the law to the facts, and handling cases accordingly. As a judge I will act impartially while ensuring that all those who appear before me are treated fairly and with respect and that their rights are protected.

In addition to working as a prosecutor, I have worked on behalf of indigent defendants as an appellate attorney. As both a prosecutor and a defense attorney, I have written numerous briefs and made multiple presentations to the Court of Appeals.

I am endorsed by judges, law enforcement, victim advocates, prosecutors, attorneys, elected officials, and community leaders. More information and specific endorsements are at RosemaryForJudge.com.
