Tim Ford, the Attorney General's open-government ombudsman, announced today that he will run for the Court of Appeals, Division II, District 2. This covers Thurston, Mason, Kitsap, Jefferson, Clallam, and Gray Harbor counties.
Ford is running against incumbent Robin Hunt. Ford cites Judge Hunt's open-government rulings as a major reason for his challenge.
We know Tim Ford. He is extremely well qualified.
