As state District Court judges from central and eastern Montana, we endorse Laurie McKinnon as our pick for the Montana Supreme Court. Judge McKinnon is currently a District Court judge for Glacier, Toole, Pondera and Teton Counties. Judge McKinnon tries numerous cases, writes well-reasoned opinions and is fair and courteous.

Perhaps most importantly, Judge McKinnon would be the only District Court judge on the Supreme Court, which would bring a unique perspective to difficult decisions. She has been in the trenches and has invaluable legal experience as a judge.

Judge McKinnon follows the law and understands the role of the judicial branch. She leaves the important job of making laws to the Legislature. Please join us and approximately 20 other District Court judges across Montana and consider Judge Laurie McKinnon for the Montana Supreme Court — we believe all Montanans will be well-served by her experience.
