Andrew Schach completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Schach's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I became a judge in order to serve the community. I have sought to provide justice to all parties before the court. I seek to interpret the laws in place and apply those laws to the evidence provided in each matter.
- I believe the courts should be open and available to all participants, including those acting as their own representatives. While this does not change the burden the individual must meet, I do believe the process can be daunting. At times, the process may be made more clear and understood by the judge conducting the hearing.
- The position of Superior Court Judge is nonpartisan. I have not raised funds. I did not ask for endorsements from my colleagues and fellow judges. I enjoy the local farmers markets. I attend Mariners games. I seek to serve the community I enjoy taking part in, and I ask for your vote.
