Washington state holds primary election Tuesday

District expected to be key U.S. House battleground

Washington state voters will go to the polls Tuesday in a primary election that covers races for the U.S. Congress, the state Legislature, and other state and local offices. The Associated Press reported on the candidates and contests voters will see on the ballot.

Among the races drawing attention is a congressional district expected to be a key battleground for control of the U.S. House of Representatives. The primary will narrow the field of candidates competing for those seats and others across the state.

Robert Yoon of the Associated Press reported on what voters should expect from the primary contests, detailing the offices and candidates on the ballot.
