David R. Shelvey, Esq. for Washington Supreme Court Position No. 7
Welcome to David Robert Shelvey's website.
I will be happy to serve Washington!
Questions a voter might ask this candidate: 1. Why are you seeking this seat, and what experience qualifies you to serve on the state's highest court?
For starters, this is two questions labeled as one. This is known in the legal field as a compound question. And BTW, I had nine people sign up, and consulted with seven of them.
1a) I am a person who likes challenges. Of the combined hundreds of emails, text messages, calls, and letters, a lot have the same theme, "How would I likely rule, and why?" This is why we have nine seats. Nine justices all being challenged to use heuristic reasoning to make the best, but maybe not perfect, decisions.
1b) When I sit down with an individual to discuss their legal question(s), they rarely start off asking me, "Before we get started, what are your qualifications?" They normally start with, "I am hoping you can help me." I do these clinics for free as a way to serve my community.
Why Elect Me?
I want to protect our freedoms and rights
I have been in the trenches and know your frustrations.
I will listen to your concerns and act on them.
I received on social media a listing of veterans running for office, and I was not on the list. So here is my proof I should be on the list.
