JUDGE: Support Christensen

I have known Rich Christensen since we became classmates in law school at the University of Idaho in 1979, and we have remained friends ever since. I know him to be a man of impeccable character who has the experience necessary to hold the position of District Judge.

He served more than 25 years as a private practitioner handling all types of civil and criminal cases. He also served as a Deputy Attorney General where he was the lead attorney for financial prosecution of drug racketeering cases.

Rich was elected as the Prosecuting Attorney in both Boise County and Benewah County before he was appointed by Governor Otter in 2013 as District Judge here in Kootenai County. Since then Judge Christensen has demonstrated all the qualities necessary to decide matters before him with impartiality and fairness. I know him to treat litigants with courtesy and respect.

Rich is also a good family man who has been active in the community and currently is a member of the Sunrise Rotary Club here in Coeur d’Alene.

Rich Christensen is an honorable man who deserves your vote.
