“I have known Rebecca Arnold for almost a decade now through my years on the Boise City Council and as an Ada County Commissioner. During that time Rebecca has served on the Ada County Highway District. I have appreciated Rebecca’s straightforward way of approaching difficult issues. Sometimes, elected officials get too caught up in their own small circle of ideas and forget to look at the big picture. Rebecca looks at all sides of an issue before she makes a decision. That will serve her well as a district judge.”
Jim Tibbs
Ada County Commissioner
“When Rebecca and I were both at Albertsons, she was a very highly regarded attorney and, although it has been several years since I’ve worked with her, I have nothing but positive recollections about her and her work.”
Larry Anderson

“Rebecca Arnold is infinitely qualified to be a 4th district judge. She is a lawyer, CPA, MBA and Ada County Highway District commissioner. She has practiced law for more than 25 years with one of the area’s most prestigious law firms as well as with Albertson’s legal department. She has a wealth of experience handling lawsuits and legal matters from the smallest to those involving millions of dollars. She has been employed by me for several years and I have found her to be smart and wise beyond belief. Rebecca comes from very humble beginnings and has great compassion and respect for people of all economic groups. She is unbiased and her decisions will be impartial and completely without regard to race, creed, religion, sexual orientation and social or financial stature. Rebecca will not be swayed by highly sophisticated lawyers and will make judicial decisions based solely upon evidence presented to the court and how such evidence relates to the law. Rebecca understands that we are a nation of laws and her decisions will be handed down accordingly. The counties of Valley, Elmore, Boise and Ada could not possibly ask for a finer district judge than Rebecca Arnold.”
Winston H. Moore
Founder and Owner – WH Moore Company
“Extraordinary attention to details and a level of integrity and competency that exemplifies the highest standards of the legal profession, Rebecca Arnold, would provide a voice of reason and sound determination in the role of 4th District Judge. As a long-time resident of Idaho, and involved in numerous public boards and organizations, I can personally attest to the fact that Rebecca would be a tremendous listener and fair arbitrator of any adjudication. She’s that type of lady, and one that I tremendously respect.”

“Having known Rebecca Arnold for several years, I’ve found her to be extremely professional, intelligent, respectful, compassionate and infinitely qualified to fill the upcoming vacancy in the Fourth Judicial District.”
“Rebecca has all of the right qualities to make a terrific judge. She has more than 25 years experience as a practicing attorney, working with one of the most prestigious law firms in Idaho and as a corporate attorney with Albertsons. She has an MBA and accounting degree and was for years a practicing CPA.”
“That wealth of experience in handling legal matters ranging from small civil situations to incidents involving millions of dollars make her the only candidate to replace retiring Judge Mike Wetherell with the education and experience to understand many of the complex issues that will have to be decided in a courtroom. Rebecca will be the type of judge who will not be swayed by pretentious attorneys with flamboyant deliveries, but will make her judicial decisions based solely on the evidence and how it relates to the law.”
“Also, she is the only candidate who has more than decades of volunteering and public service. We couldn’t find a better judge than Rebecca Arnold.”
Doug Pill

Good luck in this race, I hope you win! “
