OLYMPIA — Justice Charles Johnson, the senior member of the Washington state Supreme Court, says he's running for a fourth six-year term.
Johnson has nearly 18 years of seniority on the state's highest court. He was a surprise winner of his first campaign back in 1990. He had a solo law practice in Gig Harbor and hadn't served on the bench, but nonetheless ousted a sitting justice, Keith Callow. Johnson won again in 1996 and 2002.
Johnson is a constitutional law scholar and teaches part time at the Seattle University Law School.
Justices Mary Fairhurst of Olympia and Debra Stephens of Spokane also are on the ballot this year.
