“Fourth District Judicial candidate Rebecca Arnold has distinguished herself among her colleagues in both the legal and political arenas. She has worked tirelessly serving her clients with a myriad of legal matters and serving her community for more than a decade, much of it as an Ada County Highway District Commissioner. Along the way she has prepared herself for the next step in her career. She will make an excellent judge. I can think of no one who is better qualified to be a Fourth District Court judge than Rebecca Arnold.”
Dennis Fitzpatrick
“The people who know Rebecca Arnold best will tell you that she has earned the right to move into the Fourth District Judiciary. Go to Rebecca’s website www.arnold4justice.com or check out her campaign materials or look for her ads in various publications throughout the Treasure Valley and you can read what her peers are saying about her. These are colleagues she has worked closely with over the years, and they are saying she is passionate, committed and willing to stand up for what she believes. In short, she possesses all the qualities necessary to make an outstanding judge.”
Gina Chalifoux
“Rebecca Arnold has spent more than 25 years practicing law. During that time she has earned the respect and admiration of those with whom she has worked. She also has more than a decade of public service, including nine years as an Ada County Highway District Commissioner. On top of all that, Rebecca has a degree in accounting and, at one time, she was a certified public accountant. In a courtroom a judge hears a variety of issues on which he or she must decide the correct outcome. Rebecca Arnold is uniquely qualified to make those tough decisions.”
Don Cornell
“I’m supporting and voting for Rebecca Arnold this election cycle for Fourth District Court judge. I have watched Rebecca’s career unfold over the past several years and I have found her to be thoughtful and intelligent in the way she handles every job she has had…from corporate attorney to highway commissioner. This year we have a chance to cast a vote where we can’t go wrong. Rebecca Arnold is the most qualified person we will find on the ballot this November.
”
Mike Keller
“Due to the retirement at the end of this year of Fourth District Court Judge Mike Wetherell, the electorate in Ada, Boise, Elmore and Valley counties will have a chance to vote directly for his replacement. Of the two candidates vying for the position one stands out as easily the most qualified. That candidate is Rebecca Arnold. She is an attorney who has held her own in the business world, an elected highway commissioner and a former certified public accountant. That diversified experience has prepared her to handle any case she will hear in the Fourth Judicial District.
”
Mike Mooney
“I’m voting for Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District Court judge this November 4th. I know that Rebecca has already had to make innumerable tough decisions over the years in her capacity as an Ada County Highway District Commissioner. Many times those decisions have been controversial due to the nature of the topic and the number of people who have special interest in those decisions. That’s a good way to make some enemies, but Rebecca has always stood strong and made her decisions based on what she thought was right. That’s the type of person I want as a judge.”
Gino Vuolo
“When the Eagle City Council was considering a roundabout at the corner of Eagle Road and Old State Street in the middle of downtown Eagle, Highway District Commissioner Rebecca Arnold knew it was the wrong place and she said so. Now, several months down the road and after spending a great deal of money, others have determined that Rebecca was right the first time. Now Rebecca wants to be a Fourth District Court Judge and I’m supporting her because I want someone on the bench who will make the right decisions at the outset.
”
Casey Clark
“Not often does the electorate get a choice in selecting district court judges. In most elections the ballot simply lists the name of the judge currently serving and ask you if you want to retain her or him. This year we have a choice, and I’m urging voters to make the most of it. Once voters have looked at the backgrounds and training of the two candidates, I believe they will agree with me the best choice to replace retiring judge Mike Wetherell in the Fourth District is Rebecca Arnold.”
Raleigh Hawe
“Fourth District Court judicial candidate Rebecca Arnold was the first to realize that downtown Eagle was not the right place for a roundabout. While others were trying to force a square peg into a round hole, Rebecca was more discerning in how she approached such a controversial issue. In the end, others realized that Rebecca Arnold was right. That’s the kind of thoughtful reasoning I believe Rebecca will bring to the Fourth District Judiciary when we elect her to the bench. Please join me in voting for Rebecca Arnold on November 4th.
”
Peter Oliver
“Although it may not have received as much notice from the media as some of the other races during this election season, I think one of the most important decisions the electorate can make on November 4th is to vote for Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District court judge. The Fourth Judicial District covers Ada, Boise, Elmore and Valley counties. I have taken the time to evaluate both candidates who will be on the ballot in this race and I can say without a doubt, Rebecca Arnold is the most qualified person and she’ll be getting my vote.
”
Randy Fullmer
“Rebecca Arnold has more than 25 years experience practicing law. That experience alone will serve her as a Fourth District Court judge. But Rebecca also has a diversity of experience in the legal profession. She has worked for 15 years in private practice and more than 11 years as a corporate attorney. She has a degree in accounting and was, at one time, a certified public accountant. And if that’s not enough, for the past nine years, she has given her time as an elected highway commissioner. Tough to be more qualified than that.
”
Dave Terrell
“I am writing to encourage you to vote for Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District court judge. Rebecca is easily the most qualified person in the race. She has been attorney for more than 25 years. She also has a degree in accounting and at one time was a licensed certified public accountant. That means Rebecca has an understanding of the corporate world. In fact she practiced law for more than a decade in the corporate environment, including nine years as the senior counsel for Albertsons. Rebecca has spent the time necessary to hone her craft, and she’ll make a great judge.”
Ron Sali
“The only candidate for the upcoming vacancy in the Fourth Judicial District with the experience and education necessary to understand complex business issues is Rebecca Arnold. I have known Rebecca for several years, and I find her to be extremely thoughtful in the way she handles tough decisions. I’m sure it has something to do with her 25 years as an attorney, her nine years as an elected Ada County Highway District Commissioner and her years of working in the corporate environment. No one else comes close to matching her credentials.”
Jeff Huber
“Rebecca Arnold is the only person seeking the office of Fourth District Court judge who has the diversified record and education to provide the insight necessary to fill the vacancy being left by the retirement of Judge Mike Wetherell. Rebecca has been an attorney for more than 25 years. She has worked in private practice for 15 years and in the corporate world for more than a decade. She should be able to hit the ground running when she takes her place on the bench at the first of next year. That’s why I’m supporting Rebecca Arnold for district judge.
”
Jim Frost
“After looking at the candidates for Fourth District court judge, I believe Rebecca Arnold is easily the most qualified candidate we could find. She’s been practicing law for more than a quarter-century. During that time, she has worked in private practice, in the corporate world and is currently the general counsel for the W.H. Moore Company. She is balancing that while also serving as a commissioner on the Ada County Highway District. She has shown she is tireless in how she handles a tremendous workload. I think it would be tough to find someone more qualified than Rebecca Arnold for the Fourth District.”
MaryPat Murphy
“I’m voting for Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District Court judge because I think she is obviously the most qualified candidate in the race. All you have to do is compare her credentials with her opponent and you’ll see that she has a much more diversified background than the other person asking for your vote. Rebecca has more than 25 years as a practicing attorney, 15 of those in private practice and 11 in the corporate world. She also has a degree in Business Administration, which means she’ll be more prepared to wade through complex issues before her and make the appropriate decisions.
”
Mike Walling
“In the upcoming election there’ll be a number of offices and candidates to consider, and voters should take their time to get to know the candidates’ qualifications before casting their ballots. One race isn’t getting a lot of attention, but in my opinion it’s one of the most important. That’s the race for Fourth District Court judge, and I feel once voters compare the qualifications of the two people on the ballot they’ll agree, Rebecca Arnold is by far the most qualified to step into that position. Do the research and I think you’ll agree.
”
Marv Meyer
“I’m supporting Rebecca Arnold this November for Fourth District Court judge because she is easily the most qualified candidate on the ballot. Rebecca has spent the last 25 years in the legal community perfecting her skills. She has worked in private practice, as a corporate attorney and has even served her community as an elected official on the Ada County Highway District. She has also given her time as a volunteer where she provided pro bono legal work in child protection cases. Please join me in supporting Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District judge.”
Mike Huttash
“Rebecca Arnold has shown through the years that she has the tenacity to stand up for what she thinks is right. Rebecca is a leader in the legal community and as an elected official on the Ada County Highway District. She has more than 25 years practicing law, in private practice and in the corporate arena. She has rendered decisions that are thoughtful and fair. Now she is asking for your support for Fourth District court judge. I believe she has earned it, because she’s qualified. She has also shown a common sense approach to problem solving.
”
Tim Bundgard
“After years of watching Rebecca Arnold on the Ada Highway District I have come to the conclusion that she would make a fine judge. She has shown the ability as a highway commissioner to find solutions to problems that are cost effective and efficient while remaining completely impartial. We need people like Rebecca who will represent us based on what’s best for the community, not what will get them re-elected. Rebecca has shown a willingness to do what’s right without consideration of what’s the most popular. I support Rebecca Arnold for judge.”
Danny Cafferty
“When looking for someone to fill the upcoming vacancy on the Fourth Judicial District bench, it is extremely important to select the person who has the credentials that would be most helpful in making complex decisions that usually have to be decided in a court of law. That person is Rebecca Arnold. In fact, it’s not even close. Rebecca not only has more than a quarter century practicing law, she also has a degree in accounting and spent much of her time involved with the corporate world. Rebecca is the best choice for Fourth District judge.”
Neal Russell
“I am writing this letter in support of Rebecca Arnold to be the next Fourth District Court Judge. Rebecca has worked tirelessly for her community as an elected official, and she has put the time in that’s necessary to hone her craft as an attorney. Rebecca Arnold is my choice for the Fourth District this November, and I believe if you take a close look at the qualifications of each of the candidates vying for the position, you’ll agree it would be difficult to find a person more uniquely ready for this job than Rebecca Arnold.”
Eddie Riggle
“Perhaps one of the most important spots on the ballot this November is one that many may not have studied in any detail. It’s the race for Fourth District Court judge. One candidate in that race is easily the most qualified to take over that position. That person is Rebecca Arnold. But you shouldn’t just take someone else’s word for it. You should visit Rebecca’s website at www.arnold4justice.com and examine her qualifications for yourself. If you do, I think you’ll agree that she is easily the most qualified person on the ballot.
”
Mickey Myhre
“This November I’m voting for Rebecca Arnold to fill the upcoming vacancy for Fourth District Court Judge. I always feel the voters should closely examine the qualifications for any one running for office and select the person who has the experience and training that most suits them to the position they are seeking. Rebecca Arnold certainly has the proper background to be a judge, but she has shown in more than a decade of public service, she has a common sense approach to problem solving that will serve her well on the bench.”
Gloria Myhre
” This election cycle there are two people who are running to fill a vacancy on the Fourth District Court bench due to the retirement of Judge Mike Wetherell. It is important that we select the most qualified person we can find to replace Judge Wetherell. I believe that person is Rebecca Arnold. Rebecca has a diversity of experience and education that will serve her and her constituents well as a judge. She has more than 25 years practicing law, but also was a certified public accountant which means she not only understands the law, she understands business.
”
Ken Birch
“Every day they sit on the bench, judges are charged with making difficult decisions. Many times those decisions aren’t popular, but hopefully they’re made with the best interest of the community as a whole in mind. One candidate for the upcoming vacancy in the Fourth Judicial District has a great deal of experience making those types of decisions already. Rebecca Arnold certainly has the qualifications necessary to make a fine judge, but she also has used a common sense approach to making tough decisions for several years as a highway district commissioner.
”
Eric Davis
“With just a few weeks away until election day, one race hasn’t received an awful lot of publicity, but it may be the most important one on the ballot. There will be a vacancy coming up in the Fourth Judicial District with the retirement of Judge Mike Wetherell. One of the people vying to replace him is Rebecca Arnold. Rebecca is an attorney, a former certified public accountant and a current Ada County Highway District Commissioner. That diversified experience will serve us well in the courtroom. I urge you to join me in voting for Rebecca Arnold.”
Nick Koontz
“This November, I’ll be voting for Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District Judge. I was drawn to Rebecca after examining the qualifications of her and her opponent. Please visit her website at www.arnold4justice.com and you’ll see what I mean. Rebecca is an attorney, a former certified public accountant, a highway district commissioner, but she has also given her time as a volunteer attorney on child protection cases. It’s easy to see that Rebecca Arnold cares deeply about the community in which she lives. She’ll make a great judge.
”
Greg Kaltenecker
“If you’re like me and care about keeping this community safe, you’ll join me in supporting Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District Court Judge. Rebecca is the type of individual who will not only consider the rights of the defendants who come before her in a courtroom, she will make sure that the victim isn’t forgotten. Rebecca’s history of caring for the victims can be traced to her time of volunteering as an attorney in child protection cases. That’s the type of person I want watching out for me as a judge. I’m voting for Rebecca Arnold.”
Keith Bird
“Rebecca Arnold has spent more than a quarter-century studying and practicing law. But it’s her diversity of experience and education that should impress voters into voting for her to fill the upcoming vacancy in the Fourth Judicial District. Rebecca has 15 years in private practice, 11 years as a corporate attorney, a master’s in business administration, was a certified public accountant and has been a highway district commissioner for the past nine years. It would be difficult to find anyone more qualified to be the next Fourth District Court judge. Please vote for Rebecca Arnold on November 4th.
”
Katie Gibson
“I just finished reviewing the information on the Fourth Judicial Court judge candidates and came away with a clear understanding of who the most qualified person is in that race. Rebecca Arnold has 25 years practicing law, including private practice and corporate law. She also has practical experience in responding to difficult situations through her role as an Ada County Highway District commissioner. Add to that her degree in business, and Rebecca Arnold has a far better understanding of how things work in the real world than her opponent. She’s my choice for fourth district judge.”
Nancy Vanorrsdel
“If you’re like me and you actually look at the qualifications of each candidate on the ballot before voting, I think you’ll agree that Rebecca Arnold is one of the most qualified of any candidate seeking office.

Drew Wahlin
“A lot of times it’s kind of a crapshoot in the political arena. Most of the time candidates spend their efforts and money saying negative things about their opponents and tell you very little about themselves. Not Rebecca Arnold. She’s running for Fourth District Court judge. If you study her website at www.arnold4justice.com or read her campaign literature all you’ll find is information about Rebecca and what qualifies her to be a judge. She has a great deal of experience in the legal arena and she outlines it for you in a logical manner. Rebecca gets my vote.”
Lori Moore
“Are you like me and you’ve become disgusted with all the negative campaign tactics employed by political candidates? All I want to know from anyone running for office is what have you done and why does that qualify you for my vote. That’s what I got when I read Rebecca Arnold’s campaign literature. She has 25 years practicing law. She’s worked as a corporate attorney, nine years with Albertsons, and she’s been in private practice. Rebecca also has a degree in business. She tells me that she’ll be able, with that background, to interpret complex issues. I agree.
”
Rick Zamzow
“Over the years I’ve learned a lot about Rebecca Arnold, mostly from the media. I know that Rebecca is a hard working Ada County Highway District commissioner who isn’t afraid to make tough decisions. I also know that she has a law degree and Masters in Business Administration. I’ve also learned that at one time Rebecca was a certified public accountant. And I recently found out that she’s running to be a Fourth District Court judge. So, I compared Rebecca’s qualifications with that of her opponent. Rebecca wins hands down. With her diversified experience, she’ll make a great judge.”
Dean Summers
“I have known Rebecca Arnold for several years. She has integrity, intelligence and a commitment to the people of the Treasure Valley. She has proven herself in numerous demanding situations. She makes decisions based on fairness and what she truly believes is in the best interest of the people she serves. I think it would difficult to find a more qualified person to fill the upcoming vacancy on the Fourth District court bench. Through the years Rebecca Arnold has prepared herself for this position. She has 25 years practicing law and a decade as an elected official. She’s ready.
”
Dr. Richard Wilson
“Over the years I have become a big fan of Rebecca Arnold. It’s not often you find someone who will stick up for what she believes even when she knows it may not be the most popular position to take. Rebecca is currently running for Fourth District court judge. She has my vote. 25 years as an attorney in both private practice and the business arena, a degree in accounting and a Master’s in Business Administration, formerly a certified public accountant and more than a decade of public service, including nine as an Ada County Highway District Commissioner.
”
Sue Didehban
“With all the political noise out there, sometimes it’s difficult to make a decision about who to vote for. People who are running many times make claims about things that are downright misleading. Take the race for Fourth District court judge. One candidate is running strictly based on a nebulous poll involving an extremely small minority of those who work in the legal profession. He’s using that because that’s all he’s got and knows if you compare his opponent’s experience she overshadows him by far. Rebecca Arnold is the easy choice for Fourth District court judge. Just compare.”
Russ Didehban
“I hope when voters get to the Fourth Judicial court race on this November’s ballot, they’ll choose the person most qualified to sit in judgment of others. Rebecca Arnold has prepared herself for this position by years of practicing law, and more than a decade as a highway district commissioner where she has been faced with making tough decisions based on fairness, not friendships. That’s what we need in our courtrooms. It’s time to weed out the good old boys, and select someone who is not beholden to a select group of defense attorneys who want favors. Vote Rebecca Arnold.”
Duane Marler
“Every election year, voters have to wade through a ton of information or in many cases misinformation to make a choice about candidates who they believe will serve them best once they get into office. Sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction. What I do is try to do my own research and drown out the superfluous noise. That’s what I’ve done in the race for Fourth District Court Judge. And after doing my research I believe it would be difficult to find someone more qualified to be our next judge than Rebecca Arnold.”
Jack Cafferty
“I write to support Rebecca Arnold for the office of Fourth District Court Judge. Growing up in hard economic circumstances, she worked her own way through college and law school to become a successful professional. She understands all classes of people and will make a fine judge.”
Marvin Henberg
“Reading the Idaho Statesman’s voter’s guide, I was drawn to an advertisement for Rebecca Arnold for Fourth District Court judge. I have gotten to know Rebecca over the years and her professional attitude is always present. My son, a local Boise attorney, discussed with me in length the necessary requirements to represent our Idaho courts. With the workload given to attorneys in preparation for trial, it is extremely necessary to have sound representation at the bench. Many voters haven’t had the opportunity to know those running for office. Personally knowing Rebecca is the sole reason for this writing of support.”
