A Note from Justice Mary Yu
Dear Friends,
The candidate filing deadline passed without any challenger filing to run against me this year, meaning I will be unopposed on the ballot in 2022 (insert applause here!). Thank you all so much for your efforts to help achieve this great outcome.
All of you who supported, endorsed, attended, or hosted events played a critical role. Your efforts made a real difference, and I am grateful for your friendship and support.
I’ll continue meeting with voters and participating in community events right up through election day, to bring attention to the importance of turning out to vote in this election, and to increasing understanding about our court and the decisions we make. I’d welcome you also helping to raise awareness for this year’s judicial races, and encouraging everyone you know to vote. Our democracy depends on active and informed voters.
Thank you again for the opportunity to serve another term on our state’s highest court. I am honored to be able to continue the work of helping to ensure that our courts protect fundamental rights and that every individual who comes through our judicial system is treated with respect, dignity, and fairness.
Sincerely,
Justice Mary Yu
