Colleen Melody, Mike Diaz, Debra Stephens up in Washington State Supreme Court contests; Theo Angelis in a competitive race
In every one of the 2026 Supreme Court contests we asked voters about at the end of May 2026, 60% or greater said they were not sure how they would vote. Among the respondents who did have opinions, incumbents did well, as did two appeals court judges who are running for open seats. One incumbent, recently appointed Justice Theo Angelis, appears to be more at risk of elimination than his peers, at least before the intensive voter contact phase of the campaign. Colleen Melody, Mike Diaz, Debra Stephens up in Washington State Supreme Court contests; Theo Angelis in a competitive race is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.
