Endorsement Statements

"Commitment to the law and the greater Pierce County is what Judge Evans brings to the bench. We need more judges with his experience and intellect." -Ashley Jackson, Attorney

"Judge Evans is an exceptional Judge, who is well respected, well researched and has a superb understanding of nuanced areas of the law. He is well suited to represent the community through solid leadership from the bench." -Kelsey Page, Attorney

"Judge Evans has the rare combination of intelligence and common sense. Pierce County is lucky to have him!" -Judge Jennifer Andrews, Pierce County Superior Court 

"Judge Evans has dedicated his career to the Pierce County community since he graduated from law school almost 20 years ago. He grew up in Tacoma, went to law school, and immediately returned to enter public service. I'm not sure there are many judges or lawyers in Pierce County who have done more in the past decade in the area of criminal justice reform, particularly when it comes to helping at-risk youth in the community. We are fortunate to have him as a judge." -Jason Amala, Attorney

"Judge Evans brings a strong sense of justice and a much needed perspective to the Pierce County Superior Court bench." -Mary K. High, Attorney
