The August 6 primary election yielded strong results for WR endorsed candidates.
The WR Retail Action Council celebrated the positive outcomes, with 75 of their endorsed candidates leading in the primary counts, while only 6 were trailing. The election will be officially certified on August 23. As Washington is a vote-by-mail state, the process of receiving and counting ballots takes time.
Notable results include:
- In the hotly contested 10th District (Whidbey and Camano Islands), WR-endorsed incumbent Senator Ron Muzzall is ahead by 4 points.
- In the newly redrawn 14th District (Yakima), WR-endorsed Senator Curtis King leads with over 57% of the vote.
- In the 17th District (Brush Prairie, Battle Ground, and parts of Vancouver), current House Representative Paul Harris, running for the open Senate seat, is leading his competition.
- In the 45th District (Kirkland, Juanita), incumbent State Representative Larry Springer is ahead of his opponent by 8 points.
WR is committed to electing pro-retail candidates to the legislature who will protect and advocate for the retail industry. WR’s PAC will meet after the certification to decide on further support of office seekers.
Please do your part by voting in the November 5 General Election. Ballots will be sent to voters in mid-October.
