More legislative races to watch this year in WA
This year’s midterms are significant for Washington state government, as all 98 seats in the state House and 24 of 49 state Senate seats are up for grabs. Meanwhile, a surge of retirements will mean many new lawmakers arriving in Olympia.
The filing deadline for candidates was Friday at 5 p.m. They had until Monday evening to withdraw.
The primary will be Aug. 4, with the top two candidates advancing to the general election. Election Day is Nov. 3.
Democrats currently hold a 59-39 majority in the state House and 30-19 in the Senate.
