Tom Weaver brings the skills necessary for today's Bremerton Municipal Court.
"It is my desire to serve the community I love that prompts me to run for BMC Judge. BMC has experienced chaotic changes over the past four years, brought on by COVID-19 and staff turnover of over 200%. Repairing the damage will require a unique combination of skills and experience.
Having devoted more than 32 years to practicing criminal law across Washington, there are very few legal issues that I have not confronted. I have experience arguing cases to judges and juries all the way up to the Supreme Court, but also deciding important legal disputes as a judge pro tem and court appointed arbiter.
I have over 20 years of experience running a small business, making decisions about personnel and keeping records. As BMC undergoes this period of repair, these skills may prove to be more valuable than courtroom experience." -- Tom Weaver
