This civic activist used AI to assess how state Supreme Court candidates might rule on the millionaires’ taxViet Nguyen in his Seattle home office, with two of the civic sites he built using AI: Culliton2026.org on the monitor and a dashboard on the King County homelessness authority on the laptop.
The site is named after Culliton v. Chase, the 1933 ruling that struck down a graduated income tax in Washington state.
The home page of Culliton2026.org, Viet Nguyen’s AI-built voter guide to the 2026 Washington Supreme Court races.
NPI runs its own guide to the 2026 Supreme Court elections — the Washington State Supreme Court Elections Visualizer — which sorts candidates by their endorsements and voter-pamphlet statements, but does not make any guess at how they’d rule.
A case filed in Klickitat County Superior Court in April, led by former state Attorney General Rob McKenna and former state Supreme Court Justice Phil Talmadge, argues the tax is an unconstitutional income tax and is expected to reach the state Supreme Court.
