Early results for key WA swing district seats are in. Here's who is leading

Early results show Deb Krishnadasan leading the race for state Senate in the 26th Legislative District, pulling ahead of Gary Parker by a margin of roughly 15% Tuesday night. Democrats Adison Richards and Renee Hernandez Greenfield appeared to be leading in the district’s two state House races. All three state Legislature seats representing the 26th Legislative District are up for election. The district spans the Gig Harbor, Key Peninsula, Port Orchard and Bremerton areas. The purple district has had some of the state’s most expensive races in recent years. Pierce County and Kitsap County officials will regularly release updated numbers as they count more ballots, starting tomorrow afternoon, until certifying the election on Nov. 24 at 10 a.m. 26th LD Senate Deb Krishnadasan earned 57.29% of the vote (32,723 votes) while Gary Parker earned 42.61% (24,338 votes) as of Tuesday night. “After two long years of campaigning, I’m thrilled that voters have delivered a full four-year term, and that we ran this campaign the same as we did last year, staying positive and listening to neighbors focusing on what I’ve delivered and the work still ahead,” Krishnadasan said in a phone call Wednesday morning. The election results affirm “that our

Early election results are in for the Thurston Co. race between Clouse, Dunning

Early results showed incumbent Emily Clouse leading Nic Dunning in the Thurston County Commissioner District 5 race Tuesday night. Clouse, a Democrat, led with 31,898 votes (53.3%) while Dunning, a moderate Democrat, had 26,909 votes (45%), according to tallies released Tuesday night by the county Auditor’s Office. The candidate with the most votes will serve as the District 5 representative on the five-person Board of County Commissioners, a legislative authority that oversees a county with a $1 billion biennial budget. District 5 encompasses an area south of Lacey and extends north between Olympia and Lacey toward Johnson Point. Though the seat is district-specific, all Thurston County voters can decide who will fill the position. When reached for comment, Clouse called the early results “amazing” and said she felt confident in her lead over Dunning. “I feel like I can go to bed knowing, and so many people can go to bed knowing, that we were successful,” Clouse said. Clouse said she reviewed the preliminary results alongside other Democrats at Altitude 15 in downtown Olympia. “This clearly shows what happens when candidates are actually running on a platform that puts people first,” Clouse said. “This is much bigger than me or

Seattle's Jaelynn Scott set to be Washington's first trans lawmaker

Seattle voters are poised to send the first openly transgender person to Washington's Legislature, with Jaelynn Scott holding 87% of the vote as of Thursday. The big picture: The milestone comes in the same election in which Washington voters approved new restrictions on trans girls competing in girls' school sports. Zoom in: Scott, the executive director of the Black trans advocacy organization the Lavender Rights Project, is on track to win the Position 2 seat in Washington's 37th Legislative District. The state House chief clerk and state Senate secretary told Axios they were unaware of any previous Washington legislators who publicly identified as transgender. The 37th district consists mostly of southeast Seattle but also includes a small part of Renton and some unincorporated areas, including Skyway. What they're saying: Scott acknowledged the historic nature of her victory in an election night news release. But she said her campaign was primarily about "families fighting to stay in the neighborhoods they built," along with "housing, health care and schools." "Being first is a responsibility, not a trophy," Scott said. "To every trans kid in Washington who has been told there's no place for them: there is. It's in the State House." Her
