Gov. Inslee makes two short-term judicial appointments

Today Gov. Jay Inslee announced the short-term appointments of two judicial candidates who were elected to their positions in the November 2024 general election: Sal Mungia, as Justice to the Supreme Court, and Mason County Superior Court Commissioner Tirsa Butler as Judge to the Mason County Superior Court. 

Sal Mungia won his campaign to succeed retiring Justice Susan Owens, and Tirsa Butler won her campaign to succeed retiring Mason County Superior Court Judge Daniel Goodell. Both Justice Owens and Judge Goodell retire effective December 31, 2024. By statute the newly elected judicial officers’ terms do not begin until January 13, 2025. Both candidates requested this short-term appointment so they can begin their work early. These appointments will run from January 1, 2025 through January 12, 2025.

“I’m delighted to grant Sal Mungia’s and Tirsa Butler’s requests for early appointment to the positions to which they were elected in November," said Inslee. "As duly elected judicial officers, they have each won the public’s confidence, and I am pleased to accelerate the commencement of their public service in their new roles.”
