Campaign websiteEdwards' campaign website stated the following:A message from Scott – why I’m runningUpholding the Rule of LawI grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, where my father’s service as Alaska Attorney General and U.S. Attorney rooted the practice of law early in my life.Over decades of litigation and counseling, I’ve learned that trust in our courts depends on careful reasoning, equal treatment, and a steady commitment to the law.I am running for the Washington Supreme Court to bring independent judgment to every case—focused on the Washington State Constitution, the statutes, and the people we serve. Outside the courtroom, I’m grateful for family, including time with my granddaughter, which keeps me grounded in what our decisions mean for future generations.PrioritiesWhat I will bring to the Washington Supreme CourtIndependenceDecisions guided by the law and the record — never by politics or pressure.Rule of LawClear, principled reasoning that strengthens confidence in our courts.PrincipledRespectful process, equal treatment, and an unwavering commitment to due process.ExperienceDecades of complex litigation experience and disciplined analysis.— Scott Edwards' campaign website (July 6, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
