Judicial Voter's Guide - Thurston County

We understand the temptation to take a pass on voting for judges. They’re at the very end of the ballot, you have no idea who they are, and it’s straight up hard to find any real information about them.

But judicial races are actually the most important choices on the primary ballot.

These folks have the final say over everything from our last election for governor to your last disputed parking ticket. And unlike other offices, the primary is the final election for most judges; any candidate who wins with over 50% of the vote is elected and doesn’t have to run again in the November general election.

Fuse has endorsed candidates only in a couple of judicial races. In others, we have compiled information that we think is valuable from bar associations and other organizations. For more information, see www.VotingForJudges.org. To view Fuse's endorsements in other state-wide races, please click here.
