The Justices listed below are very good Justices that have done extremely high quality, reasoned work and are proven candidates. Currently a few billionaires from both out of state and in state are dumping millions into defeating these three candidates and replacing them with judges they can count on to provide results no matter what the law says. Worse yet, the attack ads being used are in very poor taste and are dishonest:
“Voters should also be aware that a handful of Washington’s wealthiest residents are spending a small fortune on political-action committees to unseat Wiggins….extreme politicking will erode the public’s faith in the court’s independence. Even the worthiest candidate would suffer if it appears their seat were won with the nastiest ads money can buy,” (Seattle Times – October 28, 2016).
I strongly urge you to support the current Supreme Court Justices I have listed. If they are replaced there will be a significant impact on our great state! It takes courage to enforce the laws and Constitution, and now they are being attacked with dishonest ads focusing on one or two cases where they only tell half-truths and jump to dishonest conclusions.
Folks, please support these three current Supreme Court Justices:
