Washington’s Supreme Court Battle | Vancouver News

Washington’s Supreme Court races are heating up this November, turning what was once a quiet judicial election into a high-stakes political battle. With millions poured into five key races—driven by a major tax dispute and looming vacancies—the GOP is pushing to reshape the court’s conservative tilt. Four GOP-backed candidates face Democratic favorites, including two recent governor-appointed justices, as business groups and unions clash in unprecedented spending. The most expensive showdown pits appeals court Judge Ian Birk against King County Superior Court Judge Sean O’Donnell, while Justice Melody squares off with Republican-endorsed tax attorney Scott Edwards. Election Day is November 3rd, and the outcome could steer state law on everything from bail to public defenders for years to come.
