I'm Andrea Robertson,
and I'm running for an open seat
on the King County Superior Court.
This is
a non-partisan position,
and I'm the only candidate
in this race running
a truly judicial campaign,
rather than a political one.
Being a judge
in our Superior Court requires
significant trial experience,
and I am the only candidate
with this background.
I've spent
22 years in court,
representing over
1,500 individual clients
in times of crisis.
I have been sole counsel
in over 50 jury trials,
I've argued at all levels
of our state courts,
and I'm a part-time instructor
of advanced trial advocacy
at the University of Washington
School of Law.
Over 75 trial-court judges
and hundreds of attorneys
who try cases in our courts
have endorsed my work
in the courtroom.
They are not politicians.
Instead, they know that
I have the skill, the experience,
and the compassion it takes
to serve our community
on this important court.
I am also the only candidate
in this race to have received
the highest possible
judicial rating of
Exceptionally Well Qualified
to fill this role.
And five independent Bar Associations
have given me this top rating:
Washington Women Lawyers,
the Veteran's Bar, Q-Law,
the Latina/Latino Bar Association,
and the Cardozo Society.
I've worked in
public and private defense,
criminal and civil matters.
And I know firsthand
how our court system
can improve.
In the short run,
I'll be ready to go to work
on day one
helping my fellow judges deal
with the unprecedented
backlog of trials
due to the pandemic.
And in the long run,
our system must
address inequities
which disproportionately
impact marginalized populations.
Access to justice is something
I have fought for my entire career.
And I'm now prepared
to bring that passion
to the bench.
During this critical time,
we must elect non-partisan,
compassionate,
experienced judges.
I'm Andrea Robertson.
