Andrea Robertson is running for Position 13 on the King County Superior Court. Robertson is a local trial attorney with more than 20 years of experience including work for the Snohomish County Public Defender Association and private practices. In addition, Roberson teaches courses in trial law at the University of Washington and volunteers as a coach for Nathan Hale High School's Mock Trial team.
Robertson is endorsed by many current judges on the King County Superior Court as well as other judicial leaders across the state. In addition, she is involved with the Washington Women Lawyers and served as the Vice-President of Professional Development there for a couple of years.
Robertson faces a challenge from Hillary Madsen, a progressive legal advocate who has worked with youth caught in the justice system as well as those incarcerated in detention centers, jails, and prisons throughout the state. Madsen’s advocacy-oriented background has earned her the support of many local Democratic organizations and progressive leaders. However, while her progressive political credentials are unquestioned, Madsen has very limited trial experience compared with Robertson.
We evaluate judicial candidates somewhat differently than others running for office. In particular, we rely on the ratings of the various bar associations in Washington state that meticulously research the track records and civic engagement of those seeking to become judges. Robertson received a higher rating than Madsen from all eight bar associations that evaluated this race and she received the top “Exceptionally Well Qualified” rating from five of them, which reinforces her superior experience and legal credentials.
We believe that Robertson is the best choice for King County Superior Court, Position 13.

Young people deserve accurate information to help them make good decisions, to protect themselves, and to protect their futures. But today, too many students don’t receive high-quality, inclusive, medically accurate education about sex and healthy relationships, putting them at risk of sexual assault, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. In particular, students of color are more likely to receive incomplete or incorrect sex education.
