Five Supreme Court Seats Up For Election As Income Tax Fight Looms

With six weeks until Washington's August primary election, unprecedented attention is being focused on races for the Washington Supreme Court. Five seats on the state's highest court are on the ballot this year, and the winners could ultimately help decide major legal battles, including challenges to Washington's new income tax. Supreme Court candidate Greg Miller discussed judicial appointments, court independence, and questions surrounding the appointment process during an interview with The Center Square. The conversation also examines concerns raised by some critics regarding campaign donations, prior professional relationships, and how judicial appointments are handled in Washington state. As the income tax fight continues moving through the legal system, voters will soon help determine who sits on the court that could ultimately hear those cases. #WashingtonSupremeCourt #IncomeTax #WashingtonPolitics #JudicialElections #Taxpayer #BobFerguson #Election2026 #GovernmentAccountability #SupremeCourtRace #WashingtonState #TheCenterSquare #WashingtonNews #PublicPolicy #Courts #IncomeTaxChallenge
