Campaign websiteHawkins Warren's campaign website stated the following:In Georgia, elections for Supreme Court Justices are nonpartisan. That means that Justices do not run under the mantle of a political party.I ran a statewide, nonpartisan campaign when I was challenged in 2020 – and I won with 79% of the vote. I am running a nonpartisan, statewide campaign again in 2026 – not just because judicial elections are labeled “nonpartisan,” but also because running a nonpartisan race best reflects the fairness and impartiality that is essential to my job as a sitting Justice.Even so, I can tell you what I believe in, so that you – as a voter – can better understand who I am as a Justice.I believe in the independence of the judiciary. I believe in the rule of law. I believe in the separation of powers. I believe that judges play a very important – but limited – role in our three-branch system of government, because judges are not executives and they are not legislators. Judges don’t make the law; we interpret the law as written.I believe in deciding cases fairly and impartially. I believe in treating people on every side of a case with dignity and respect. I believe in interpreting the law faithfully, without fear or favor, without bias, and apart from personal opinion.I have served as a Justice on the Supreme Court of Georgia for more than seven years now. During that time, I have upheld my oath to the Georgia Constitution and to the United States Constitution. I have honored my limited role as a judge. I have served with integrity.I will continue to do all of those things when you re-elect me on May 19, 2026. It is my honor to continue working hard for the people of Georgia.— Sarah Hawkins Warren's campaign website (May 4, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
