Our family is clients of Jenna Brozik, she is currently running for Superior Court Judge.

“Vote yes, pay less,” the Initiative No. 2117 yard sign reads. A catchy slogan, but is it true? In repealing our state’s CO2 tax, 2117, we’re told, will benefit low-income working people by cutting costs, including gasoline and energy.

If 2117 is designed to save money for low-earners, then we can expect th...
I am a client of Jenna Brozik running for Superior Court Judge. My name is Jeff Faunce. I met Jenna Brozik after my brother passed away in Tekoa and our family needed an estate attorney.

There are several qualities that Jenna has in which I believe are good qualities of a judge. She is intelligent and knowledgeable. She is a great listener and has a good grasp of the legal process. Jenna is sympathetic to all parties,...
Call me “old fashioned,” I must be if I still believe in the “Power of the Press” as a public forum to comment on the issues of the day. Lately, it seems to me that our municipal and county agencies are either not following their directives of serving for the “good and safety of the pubic” or they have become powerless to directly enforce their won rules and regulations. Case in point, you cannot park on Main Street overnight, but you can park on City property for as long as you want and even with expired tabs. You can have a business on...
I am writing to endorse the election of Jenna Brozik for the Whitman County Superior Court position. I am a retired Spokane County District Court Judge. I also have served as a Pro Tem judge on the Whitman County bench. Since my retirement I have served as a mediator on hundreds of cases throughout Eastern Washington. I have had the pleasure of serving as mediator on many Whitman County cases when Jenna was an attorney for one of the parties. I have observed Jenna to be a zealous advocate for her clients and to have a humble personality that...
