Janice Bridges is an anti-racist grandma whose daughter Katy created a campaign encouraging people to write her in for Pierce County Sheriff.

Janice has been a Pierce County resident for 32 years, and has lived in Tacoma's Stadium neighborhood for 18 years. She’s a University of Washington Tacoma graduate, and attended her first UWT classes when it was still in the Perkins building and other office buildings throughout downtown.

She graduated with a masters in social work in 2001 after the campus was built in and worked at Pierce County Juvenile Court on the civil side of the court for 17 years. She concluded her career as the Dependency Unit Supervisor. While with Pierce County, she managed a program of advocates for children in foster care (formerly known as the CASA Program). Janice is mother to four grown children and grandmother to four young grandsons. She is known to many as Mamz, a nickname her son Rob gave her, and now as an anti-racist grandma, a title her daughter Katy gave her.
