Position 1. Scott Edwards is running against Justice Colleen Melody. Justice Melody was appointed by Gov. Ferguson. This is her first election. I value Scott Edwards's decades of experience in tax and constitutional law, particularly when the court faces fundamental questions about the limits of the state's taxing power.

Position 3. Open seat. Judge David Stevens of the Mason County Superior Court is running against Judge Jaime Hawk of the King County Superior Court. I support Judge Stevens's emphasis on judicial restraint and his view that changes to our constitution belong in the amendment process.

Position 4. Open seat. Justice Charles Johnson is retiring. Judge Sean O'Donnell of the King County Superior Court is running against Judge Ian Birk of the Court of Appeals. Judge O'Donnell's years handling criminal and family cases as a Superior Court judge bring practical experience with how judicial decisions affect people's lives.

Position 5. Dave Larson, a retired Federal Way Municipal Court judge, is running against Justice Theo Angelis. Justice Angelis was appointed by Gov. Ferguson. This is his first election. I value Dave Larson's long service as a municipal court judge and the perspective that experience brings to how Supreme Court rules work in everyday courtrooms.

Position 7. Todd Bloom is running against Chief Justice Debra Stephens. Todd Bloom's background as a tax attorney and CPA would bring a useful combination of legal and financial experience to a court whose decisions have substantial consequences for families and businesses.
