Southeast King County deserves a judge who will fight for due process and access to justice for everyone. Judge Jason Poydras is that kind of judge. Having served the community as a public defender and a deputy prosecutor, he knows how to treat everyone with dignity and respect. In his over 9 years as a hearing examiner and administrative law judge, he proved to be an honest and fair decision maker, who made sure everyone was heard.

With nearly 15 years of legal experience, he was unanimously appointed to the District Court by the King County Council in April 2017. Judge Poydras is committed to finding new ways to help people access justice using technology and to enhancing the public’s confidence in our courts. Jason and his wife, Amy, live in Renton.
