The search for a new representative is part of a broader primary election cycle where candidates from all parties run on a single ballot, with the top two finishers advancing to the general election. Simultaneously, the retirement of GOP Rep. Dan Newhouse in the 4th District has created a competitive field for a deep-red seat. These races are and will be monitored as part of the 2026 primary election cycle in Washington state.
