  • Craig Juris Kittitas County Upper District Court Judge
    “Matt Mills has my full endorsement for the position of Kittitas County Superior Court Judge. I had the privilege of working with Matt for several years in the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office as well as having him appear before me in court countless times since I became a judge. Matt has always given careful and unbiased treatment to every case he has handled while maintaining a professional and even-tempered demeanor, even in the most trying of circumstances. These are all critical traits for a successful judge. In addition, Matt has experience in a wide variety of legal areas that he will face after taking the bench. Matt Mills will make an excellent judge and will serve our county proudly. Please join me in supporting Matt Mills for Kittitas County Superior Court Judge.”
     
  • Matthew Lundh Cle Elum Mayor
    “I’m proud to endorse Matt Mills as our next Superior Court Judge. Through our connection with Scouting America, I have known Matt and seen his strong commitment to the kids in our community. His vast legal experience, temperament, and work with the disability community make him uniquely qualified for the bench.”
     
  • Jill Scheffer Former Ellensburg City Councilmember
    “I strongly support Matt Mills for Kittitas County Superior Court, Position 1. I served on the Ellensburg City Council for nine years and I understand the importance of leadership, clarity, and commitment to our community. Matt Mills has demonstrated these qualities throughout his career and is the right choice for this critical role. During my time on the City Council, I had the opportunity to work with his opponent, Chris Herion, who served a very short tenure. While on the Council, I never noticed that Chris took significant positions on important matters, nor did he make his views on key issues clear to his colleagues or to the public. In contrast, Matt Mills has a proven track record of transparency, accountability, and a genuine dedication to justice. He understands the complexities of the law and the needs of our community and has consistently shown a commitment to upholding fairness and integrity in all his work.”
     
  • Ed Wolfe | Former U.S. Ambassador

  • Greg Zempel | Kittitas County Prosecuting Attorney
    “I’m proud to endorse Matt Mills for Superior Court Judge. I hired Matt as a Deputy Prosecutor in my office five years ago because I was impressed with his vast legal experience and his even temperament. Over the years, I have watched him quickly integrate into our community and show an ability to juggle a large caseload while giving each case the attention it deserves. These qualities, combined with putting in the hard work and focus on running an effective campaign, give me the confidence that he will be the focused, ethical, and fair judge that Kittitas County deserves.”
