All three incumbents have served admirably and warrant re-election. They are Mary Fairhurst, Charles Johnson and Debra Stephens. Technically, “re-elect” does not apply in Stephens’ case. She was appointed to the court by Gov. Chris Gregoire in December 2007, and we recommend that voters retain her on the court. This will be easy because she is unopposed and, unlike in local judicial races, state Supreme Court offices will appear on the primary ballot irrespective of the number of candidates filing. Fairhurst and Johnson are solid, respected and experienced judges whose qualifications and expertise easily distance them from their challengers. We note with great satisfaction the absence in this year’s state Supreme Court elections of attack ads unleashed by big-bucks special-interest groups, as occurred in 2006.
