Maureen Judge of Mercer Island plans to run for the 41st District Senate seat against Republican Steve Litzow.
Judge says she will run on four issues: fully funding education, championing women’s health and reproductive rights, seeking transportation solutions that ease congestion, and safeguarding the environment.
“During his 2010 campaign, Steve Litzow promised he would fight for education funding,” Judge said, “but this legislative session he demonstrated that he’d rather toe the Republican Party line than fight for our kids, our state and our future.”
Judge moved to Mercer Island six years ago because of its schools.
Born and raised in Seattle, Judge attended Boston University and graduated in 1986. Judge went on to work at RealNetworks and Expedia.com in Bellevue.
