YES on Initiative 735 Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has called the Citizens United ruling the worst in the court’s history, as it has unleashed unlimited campaign spending from corporate and wealthy interests.

Currently, candidates for Prosecutor state their party preference when running for office, whether a major or minor political party or “Independent.” This is important information for voters who can see at a glance the political party platform with which the candidate most closely aligns.

  • Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu Leads the Way by Putting Others First by Sheila Cain Seattle Crosscut September 30, 2019
    Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu leads the way by putting others first by Sheila Cain Seattle Crosscut September 30, 2019 Growing up in a working-class family on the south side of Chicago, Mary Yu never expected to go to college. Yu’s Mexican mother, who spent much of her early life picking strawberries and asparagus, and her Chinese father, who worked in a factory, held modest wishes for their two children. They hoped their daughter would find success with a secretarial job. “My mom would always say she didn’t want our hands to look like hers,” Yu said. In high school, one of Yu's teachers asked if she had considered college. It was a question that would lead Yu to undergraduate and graduate degrees in theology, a 10- year career in social justice, a law degree from University of Notre Dame, a judgeship with King County Superior Court and a seat on the Washington state Supreme Court, where she serves today. As a lesbian woman of color, Yu found herself a trailblazer on many fronts. She’s the state’s first openly gay justice, the first Asian American justice and the first Latina justice. She even holds the honor of having officiated the first same-sex marriage in Washington State in 2012. “I see myself as a ‘first’ because of opportunity, timing and other leaders willing to give me a chance,” Yu said. “I don’t think I am a superhero, but I do want to make sure others can look at me and say, ‘I have a shot at the Washington state Supreme Court, too.’” Yu is one of six honorees being recognized at Crosscut’s Courage Awards breakfast in Seattle Oct.
