Thank you for visiting my web site. If this is your first time here, please check out About Dave and learn why my supporters and I hope that you'll agree that I should be appointed to District Court.
As many of you know, the Honorable District Court Judge Annette Plese has been elected to Superior Court. Her District Court position will soon be vacant. I was evaluated for appointment to a 2006 District Court vacancy. After an extensive merit selection process, the judicial review panel determined that I had the specific legal experience, judicial temperament, impartiality, communication style and work ethic to be a good District Court judge. Many of my friends, family, and supporters have asked me to seek appointment to the upcoming District Court vacancy. After lots of thought and prayer, I have decided to throw my hat in the ring.
The County Commissioners, after consultation with local attorneys, judicial officers, and private citizens will appoint someone to fill this judicial vacancy. It is important that you contact Commissioners Todd Mielke, Mark Richard and Bonnie Mager and let them know your thoughts as to who should be appointed.
I would like to hear from you regarding your thoughts and suggestions. Please call me directly at (509) 869-4547.

I have prosecuted thousands of cases, arguing more than one hundred jury trials. I work in the Spokane County Prosecutor's Office in the Property Unit specializing in prosecuting career criminals. I have extensive trial experience and appellate work that has earned me the respect of opposing counsel, judges, and peers.
I have worked hard to protect Spokane County and ensure that offenders are held accountable. I have a reputation for being tough yet reasonable and respectful to all. I believe the role of the courts is to protect not only the rights of the accused but also the rights of victims and the community.
As a Spokane County District Court Judge, I will treat all parties before the Court with absolute respect and dignity and will carry on the tradition I have established in my legal career of complete integrity and professionalism.
On this web site, I have provided some information for you about my background and campaign and would greatly appreciate your support in my candidacy for Spokane County District Court Judge.
