Rep. Kim Schrier (D) won the most votes in Washington’s “jungle” primary in the 8th District on Tuesday and will advance to the November general election.
The first-term lawmaker led with 45 percent of the vote after 23 percent of precincts had reported, according to The Associated Press, leading an eight-candidate field.
Washington holds so-called jungle primaries in which the top two vote-getters advance to November regardless of their party affiliation.
Schrier won the district by over 4 points in 2018, flipping it from red to blue after the retirement of Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.).
Her district is rated as “Likely Democratic” by the Cook Political Report.
