Appointed to the Washington State Supreme Court in January 2026, Melody has experience protecting Washingtonians' civil rights and freedoms against the Trump administration's attacks.
Hawk currently serves as a King County Superior Court Judge. Her experience as a civil rights attorney — fighting for criminal justice reform, immigrant rights, and voting rights — is exactly what Washington needs to protect our rights.
Appointed to the Washington State Court of Appeals in 2022, Birk brings decades of experience standing up for everyday Washingtonians and the pragmatic judgment needed to safeguard the Supreme Court and our values.
Appointed to the Washington State Supreme Court in April 2026, Angelis brings exceptional legal expertise and a history of protecting our most vulnerable.
Appointed to the Washington State Supreme Court in 2008, Stephens is currently serving her second term as the Chief Justice. Stephens brings decades of experience and a demonstrated commitment to fairness and judicial independence.
The past two years have made clear that the Trump administration and his backers in Congress will stop at nothing to steal our reproductive rights. State courts have become an increasingly important check on their attacks on reproductive rights and care, as well as LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, and other fundamental freedoms.
With the majority of Washington’s Supreme Court seats up for election, MAGA millionaire Brian Heywood and other right-wing extremists are taking an unprecedented opportunity to attack our freedoms from the court and are investing heavily in anti-abortion candidates.
But we won’t let that happen. Courts are often our last line of defense — we decide who protects our rights.
In 2026, we decide.
Washington state continues to lead the way in pushing bold, progressive policies — policies that are often protected by the state Supreme Court. The justices elected in 2026 could hear cases challenging abortion access and gender-affirming care, protections for LGBTQ+ Washingtonians, the Millionaire’s Tax, and more. Who we elect this November will determine whether these hard-fought laws and rights stay in place or whether the protections we rely on are on the chopping block.
Without a strong state Supreme Court, our rights are in danger.We have seen reproductive rights stripped away in states across the country. In 2026, we decide what’s best for our families, our bodies, our lives, and our futures. When we decide, we win.
