I’m supporting Shanda Harry for Superior Court judge.
It’s time that we brought a woman to this office, especially one young enough to serve a full term and embrace new norms as they are implemented statewide.
Her experience is the broadest, having represented people from all walks of life and in many areas of the state.
She has the best temperament to be a judge and her ethics are impeccable.
Shanda has received a long list of endorsements from all age groups and spanning all political parties. One of her latest supporters is Sheriff Brian Martin, who is a great example of someone who has earned the respect and support of all since his election in 2014.
Shanda has received most of her endorsements by attending hundreds of events around the county in order to meet as many voters as possible, to hear their concerns and answer their questions. She has run an exemplary and tireless campaign which previews what kind of judge she will be.
I will be proud of her judicial service to Lake County and not worry that she will bring any personal drama to the position, but instead bring energy and great ideas for positive changes to build a strong and fair future for the residents of Lake County.
I’m voting for Shanda Harry for Judge on Nov. 6 and hope that you will, too!

We are proud to have supported Shanda Harry’s campaign for Lake County Superior Court judge since its inception.
We were excited, but not surprised, that many other voters saw all of her great credentials and made her the top candidate in the June primaries. But because there were three candidates in the race, Ms. Harry could not attain the 50 percent plus 1 threshold needed to win outright.
In the final days of the runoff election, we are reaching out to the rest of the voters in Lake County to ask you to join with us in voting for Shanda Harry on Nov. 6. She will make a first-class judge who will work hard with the highest level of integrity, treating all in her courtroom with dignity and respect.
She has exciting plans to access state funds for mental health court and more self-help services for defendants who are representing themselves.
Ms. Harry has been a lawyer for 18 years. She has worked as an associate in large law firms, as general counsel for Robinson Rancheria, as an Indian Child Welfare Act attorney, as deputy district attorney and, for the last six years, as deputy county counsel, with experience at the appellate and Superior Court levels.
The breadth of her experience makes her a particularly useful judge to the Lake County judiciary which is understaffed and needs flexibility – she can be scheduled to hear a wide diversity of cases.
Most importantly, she has the will and can-do attitude to accomplish a lot for all in this county. Look at how much she has accomplished in the last eight months in her campaign while working full-time and raising a 6-year-old daughter.
Once in a while, we get asked, “How old is she? Is she old enough to be a judge?” Ms. Harry is 45 years old.
As a comparison:
Brian Martin, our sheriff, was 42 years old when he was elected in 2014 and we can see from his great performance that he was definitely ready to be sheriff.
Bruno Sabatier, mayor of Clearlake and incoming District 2 Lake County Supervisor, is 39.
EJ Crandall, tribal chair of the Robinson Band of Pomo Indians, former Planning Commissioner, incoming District 3 Lake County Supervisor, is 41.
And our own District 4, Lake County Supervisor Tina Scott, for whom we have the highest regard and also supported during her entire campaign, is 45.
And all of these great leaders along with hundreds more are enthusiastically supporting Shanda.
Please join us on Nov. 6 in voting for this remarkable candidate, Shanda Harry as Lake County Superior Court judge.
