Praying for my fellow Washingtonians over in Spokane right now.
Please listen to local authorities if you get an order to evacuate!
🗳️ AUGUST PRIMARY 2026 🗳️
With less than a week to go, here are some of the races I’ll be watching next Tuesday:
- State Supreme Court
- US House (3,4,5,8,9)
- State Senate (8,32,35,37,42,43)
- State House (10,12,14,17,18,24,25,26)
Vote by August 4! #waelex
Based on the State Senate seats up in 2026, Democratic targets to get to 33 (supermajority) would be 6, 31, and 35.
Main problem right out of the gate is that no Democratic candidate filed to run in LD6 this year.
But also,
31: Trump+7
35: Harris+0.6
For 2024 elections, all but the 4th district would’ve voted for Harris/Ferguson.
This last week, Governor Ferguson endorsed redistricting WA’s U.S. House districts should Democrats get supermajorities in the state legislature later this year.
Any gerrymander would require putting rural eastern WA regions with a Democratic area west of the Cascades.

🗳️ FINAL RESULTS: State Senate LD-48 🗳️
State Senator Vandana Slatter🔵 defeated State Rep. Amy Walen🔵 to retain her seat.
Walen improved a few points from the primary and won additional areas west of I-405, but it was not nearly enough to win the seat. #waelex
🗳️ FINAL RESULTS: State Senate LD-05 🗳️
State Senator Victoria Hunt🔵 defeated Fmr. State Rep. Chad Magendanz🔴 to retain her seat.
