Remember Rembert! I’ve been repeating this almost daily since learning of Rob Rembert’s decision to run for Whitman County district court judge. I believe Rob is the best candidate for the position, and the reasons are numerous. Many of us know that he’s been practicing law in Whitman County for almost 22 years and that he has extensive experience in both criminal and civil law. Did you know that almost 40 percent of the cases filed in Whitman County District Court are civil cases and neither of Rob’s opponents have much experience with ci...
Judging by all the political signs around Whitman County, one of the most contested races seems to be the race for District Court Judge. There are three qualified candidates running for the position and they’re all keeping the sign industry in business. I’m supporting attorney Rob Rembert for the position, having served with him on a number of committees, including the board of the Pullman Chamber. He’s been an outstanding contributor. He has been an attorney for 22 years, served as a temporary District Court judge and a Superior Court Commi...
I support Dan LeBeau for Whitman County District Court judge. Dan has all of the qualities to be an excellent, independent and fair judge. Dan is truly committed to Whitman County to do a great job. Believe me, I know what it takes to be a good judge --Trudy G. Libey, Colfax...
We have known Robert Rembert for more than 22 years, which encompassed his time as an attorney with the Pullman firm of Irwin, Myklebust, Savage & Brown. As an accounting firm sharing space with the law firm, we had an opportunity to watch his development as an attorney in Whitman County and as a community leader in both Pullman and in the surrounding area. Rob’s involvement during those years was impressive. As a partner in the law firm, he handled both civil and criminal litigation. He is well-versed in the areas of landlord-tenant, c...
I supported Dave Frazier for district court judge in 1981, and again for superior court judge in 1999, and I also supported Gary Libey for superior court judge in 2016. I know what it takes to be a great judge - hardworking, experienced and fair. I support Dan LeBeau for Whitman County district court judge this year as I believe he has all of those qualifications. --Milt Nelson, Thornton...
Robert Rembert would be a fine District Judge. I urge the voters of Whitman County to vote for him on August 7, 2018. District Court is where most people have their first contact with the judicial system. Robert brings a fine legal mind to the job, but will also be courteous for all those who might come before him. --David R. Risley, Clarkston...
I am a 70-year old retired woman. After earning a BSc. in Biochemistry from Washington State University in 1970, I spent 45 years as a research technician/lab manager at universities around the country, including WSU and the University of Idaho. I was politically active during my time as a student at WSU (think Vietnam, Nixon and Cambodia), but then, as they say, “Life happened.” The country was basically running along OK, so my activism scaled back to regularly voting. But now, I again feel that my country is going badly astray and we nee...
We had a cold, wet spring. I don’t know whether to blame global warming or Donald Trump, but it sure was hard on my garden. I didn’t think my corn was ever going to come up. I am glad warm weather has finally arrived. I became aware of the arrival of summer this week as I was sitting at an outside table in a small strip mall slurping a huckleberry milkshake and watching the traffic go by. It seemed almost every vehicle was either pulling a boat or an RV; some were pulling both. I was raised on a farm, so I was introduced to backing up a tra...
