In the heated race for Seattle City Attorney, incumbent City Attorney Tom Carr picked up the endorsements of two former OPARB auditors today—Judge Terry Carrol and former U.S. Attorney Kate Pflaumer. OPARB, the Office of Professional Accountability Review Board, is the closest thing Seattle has to a citizen review board of the police. 

The two endorsements are a big deal because Carr's opponent, Pete Holmes, was chair of OPARB. 

In a press release issued by Carr's campaign, Pflaumer said: 

"I have worked with Pete Holmes, and I have worked with Tom Carr.The Seattle City Attorney is the third-highest elected legal position in the State of Washington.  I am endorsing Tom Carr because this job requires someone with significant prosecutorial experience. Tom has that experience. "
