“This young single mom knew she was as smart as anyone in the room, she just lacked the education, and decided she would get it. ... Katina is a person who has earned her career, through hard work and service to the people around her, and I believe Lane County would be fortunate to have her as a judge.”

“I have worked with Katina for over a decade. She is a mentor and a colleague, and in that time I have seen a deep commitment — to the work, to families and children in Lane County, and to the law itself. What stands out most is her respect for the law and for the people who come before the court. She shows up every single day committed and ready to listen and learn. That combination of dedication, humility, and respect is exactly what we need on the bench.”

Marc D Perrin

Former President, Lane County Bar Association

“I worked with Katina as opposing counsel on a variety of family law cases since she started her own practice here in Eugene. I found her to be an excellent advocate for her clients while at the same time understanding the importance of settling cases. I believe Katina will bring good judgment and common sense to the Lane County Circuit Court bench.”

Vicky Curry

Psychologist

“As a Psychologist in private practice for two decades, specializing in families in conflict and involved in litigation, I have seen Ms. St. Marie in action. I have observed her hard work and diligence to find resolution, hear the whole story, witnessed her respectful and ethical treatment of all parties - as she kept "Best Interest of the Children" as a core principal. I believe our Courts will benefit greatly from the knowledge, expertise, and example that she will bring to the bench!”
