I think that the last Justice to have ever been elected to anything was O'Connor.

Powell chaired the (appointed) School Board in Richmond VA. Souter was the (appointed) Attorney General of New Hampshire. Warren was also the (elected) Attorney General of California. Harlan Fiske Stone was Attorney General of the United States. Charles Evans Hughes was Governor of New York.

Things were different back then.
