I have known Pat for over 30 years: first when she served on Senator Slade Gorton’s staff, then as a colleague in a law firm and then as a lawyer giving compassionate assistance and counsel to those who needed a family lawyer — and throughout, she and Jim have been wonderful friends. I cannot think of anyone who would better serve the children, parents and all those who live in Sequim. — Chuck Blumenfeld

I can’t a imagine a better candidate for school board than Patrice Johnston. She is uniquely suited to the role with her brilliant mind, grasp of the issues and the compassion to use those talents to serve the students and community of Sequim. Pat is the clear choice for the job. — Evelyn Bravata

I have known Pat for over 40 years and she is one of the most civic-minded people I know. Her intelligence, education, compassion, and altruism make her an outstanding school board candidate. As an educator for over four decades, I wholeheartedly endorse Pat's candidacy and know she will serve all students, families, and educators of Sequim with wisdom, dedication, and excellent stewardship. — W Houston Dougharty

I have known Pat for decades and, at one point, we were roommates. We had children around the same time and spent many happy days doing trips together with our children. I have also known Pat as a lawyer and a colleague in the U.S. Senate. She is fair, compassionate, smart as a whip, and always willing to put in the necessary work to get the job done. The citizens of Sequim, and their children, will be very well served by having Pat on the School Board. — Sara Kendall
