Beyond the Voters’ Pamphlet: Washington Supreme Court Candidates Speak

We've gathered all eight previously published Washington State Supreme Court candidate statements in one place to make them easier to find before Election Day.

Five Supreme Court seats are on the ballot November 3. The state's highest court makes decisions affecting our laws, rights, schools, taxes, and government accountability.

The Highline Journal invited all 10 candidates to submit 500-word statements. Eight responded, and we published their statements individually earlier this month, unedited and without independent fact-checking.

Hear directly from the candidates before casting your vote.

Remember to vote by November 3!
