Ford declares candidacy for Appeals Court
Citing the need for “…open and accountable government” Tim Ford officially announced his intention to seek a seat on the Washington State Court of Appeals Division 2 this fall.

Ford, who currently serves as an Assistant Attorney General for Government Accountability in the Washington State Office of the Attorney General believes that “open and transparent government, where decisions and debate occur in public, strengthens the citizens faith in our system. Government at every level, including the courts, must be held accountable to the public it serves. Citizens pay the bills and have the right know how decisions are made. We have a right to insist on accountability.”

Ford will be running in a district that encompasses Thurston, Mason, Kitsap, Jefferson, Clallam and Grays Harbor Counties. He served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and helicopter pilot prior to attending Gonzaga University School of Law.
