THURSTON COUNTY –– Sharonda D. Amamilo, a judge with “over 16 years of trial experience representing adults and children in Superior, District, Municipal and Tribal courts,” has won the primary the Superior Court Judge Position No. 8 with 43.31 percent of the popular vote, when preliminary results came in around 8 p.m. Tuesday. 

A graduate of Saint Martin’s University, she also earned a degree from Southern Illinois University and the Seattle University School of Law. Amamilo has extensive professional experience working for numerous associations, panels and workgroups for Washington State and Thurston County.

She brings 22 years of military service to the table, and if elected intends to “make sure everyone who comes into [her] court will be treated fairly and equally, regardless of race, religion, income or social status,” according to her statement in the Thurston County voter’s pamphlet.

Scott Ahlf, the primary’s runner-up, received 24.58 percent of the popular vote. Ahlf served four terms as Olympia Municipal Court Judge, served 15 years as prosecutor and assistant city attorney for the City of Lacey and was a pro-tem judge for Thurston County Superior Court. 

Writing in the third person, Ahlf writes he has "earned a well-deserved reputation for the nationally recognized Olympia Community Court system for first time offenders convicted of lesser crimes."

He also goes on to say he led efforts to protect families, including women and children, who are subjected to domestic violence.
