Legislative ballot battles shaping up for Washington's fall elections
Intriguing match-ups in the fall elections emerged Friday as Democrats look to retain control of several seats in the Washington state Legislature.
Two Senate contests should provide a test of voters’ views on new laws, higher taxes and spending decisions pushed through by the majority Democrats over the objections of Republicans.
Races for two other legislative seats will showcase strains within the Democratic Party between its progressive and moderate factions.
Three appointed Democratic lawmakers are breathing easy. They drew no challengers before the filing window closed Friday.
