The Superior Court election is the most important because the final winner is decided this election and not in November like all the others. The campaigns of sitting judge Chuck Snyder and challenger Douglas Shepherd have been intense. Unusually so with an incumbent judge. I'm surprised at the intensity.

Below, I invite any of the 62 registered commenters and writers to share their thoughts on these candidates. This site is a venue for public discussion. All of us in Whatcom County vote for this office. And yes, you can register to comment if you are not yet on board.

Two requests.
Writers - if we start getting comments here, then lets hold off on new posts till Monday evening. Lets let this run and see if we can all learn some more.

When commenting, lets limit ourselves to about 200 words. That number of words fills the comment text box without starting the scrolling bar on the right side. This post here is about 200 words.

We all need to mail our ballot by Monday evening - to safely have it postmarked by Tuesday. Apparently there are not that many ballots mailed in yet. So, shall we share our opinions?
