Meet Judge Hawk
Judge Jaime Michelle Hawk has spent her career fighting for everyday Washingtonians — and her 20+ years of legal service proves it. She will protect our rights and freedoms.
The first attorney with the ACLU of Washington to become a judge in our state, Judge Hawk is the candidate in this race who has the most experience as counsel of record in appellate briefings before the Washington Supreme Court — the very court on which she seeks to serve. At the ACLU, she defended voting rights and made the justice system fairer for people living paycheck-to-paycheck.
As a public defender, she led trials and appeals on behalf of Washingtonians facing the full power of the federal government. She was in the courtroom defending those arrested by ICE and facing prosecution by DOJ attorneys.
Now a proven Superior Court judge, she brings broad, hands-on courtroom experience — presiding over hundreds of civil, criminal, and family law cases, as well as appeals from lower courts. She follows the law. She applies it fairly. She has never had a trial overturned for legal error.
Judge Hawk is also a court reformer. She currently serves on a Washington Supreme Court Commission working to eliminate bias in our courts and make them more accessible to working families — not just those who can afford access.
Washington needs a justice with her experience, her values, and her established record.
