A couple of retirements have injected some excitement into the Washington House primaries this election cycle.
Washington's 4th Congressional District Representative Dan Newhouse is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Also, under Washington’s primary system, the top two vote-getters in each of Tuesday’s races advance to the November election, regardless of party. Because Washington is a vote-by-mail state, with ballots due to be postmarked by Election Day, it often takes days to learn final results in close races.Trump-endorsed Joe Kent is trying to set up another showdown against Democrat U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who defeated him two years ago.
Newhouse’s bid for a sixth term has meant going up against Trump-endorsed candidates Jerrod Sessler, a Navy veteran, and Tiffany Smiley, a former nurse who entered the race after losing to U.S. Sen. Patty Murray two years ago. Trump’s backing for Sessler came months ago, while his endorsement for Smiley happened three days before the primary, marking a unique, though not unprecedented, dual endorsement by the former president.
Dr. Bernadine Bank, a founder of the Gynecological Department at the Spokane VA Hospital, according to her campaign website, is the fundraising leader of the Democrats running. But Carmela Conroy, a former chair of the Spokane County Democratic Party and a long-time foreign service officer for the U.S. State Department is close behind. No Democratic candidate has raised more than $300,000 as of July 17, Ballotpedia also states.
In the fundraising lead is Hilary Franz, with more than $1.36 million. The current public lands commissioner committed to the congressional race last fall afterFranz initially announced her candidacy for governor in May but failed to win the endorsements of prominent state Democrats. That included Inslee, who instead endorsed Attorney General Bob Ferguson.State Sen. Emily Randall of Bremerton is the other Democrat who has raised more than $1 million to grab hold of the 6th District seat.
