Candidate Dowdal has 16 years of legal <br />experience as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office, as a trial attorney with the <br />Department of Justice, as a private practitioner and partner in a small family firm, and now as <br />Assistant Dean at William Mitchell College of Law.

The current 10th Distinct Court Judge Thomas Armstrong filed for re-election but then <br />withdrew from the race after the deadline for filing, stating he was retiring. The Secretary of <br />State's Office allowed anyone who was interested in the position and could get 500 signatures to <br />be on the ballot. This resulted in a record number of 24 candidates on the ballot. Candidate <br />Bridgid Dowdal, if elected, would represent the eight counties in the 10th Judicial District, <br />including Washington County. <br />
