WASHINGTON, USA — There are 10 congressional races Washington voters will be deciding on in the 2024 general election, including some with national implications. Here's who will represent Washingtonians across the state:
District 1: Suzan DelBene wins
Jeb Brewer (R) took on the incumbent, Suzan DelBene. Congressional District 1 serves parts of King and Snohomish counties. DelBene has been the United States representative from Washington's 1st congressional district since 2012. In 2022, Brewer advanced to the general election when he ran for Washington state Senate for District 44, then lost to John Lovick.
Tuesday night, DelBene shared a statement saying she was honored to represent the people in her district.
“By focusing on results, not rhetoric, we can continue to make real progress to help everyone in the district. We must deliver on pocketbook issues like building more affordable housing, lowering costs, and strengthening Social Security and Medicare. We also have an important opportunity next year to protect reproductive freedom, fight for a fairer tax code, make the expanded Child Tax Credit permanent, and build an economy where families and workers don’t just get by, but can get ahead," she wrote.
District 2: Rick Larsen wins
Incumbent Rick Larsen (R) defeated Cody Hart (GOP) in Congressional District 2, which serves Island, San Juan, Skagit, and Whatcom counties and parts of Snohomish County. Larsen has served Washington's Congressional District 2 since 2001.
District 3: Marie Gluesenkamp Perez leads Joe Kent
In a hotly contested race, Joe Kent (GOP) takes on incumbent Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) in Washington's 3rd congressional district. District 3 serves southwestern Washington, in Lewis, Clark, Pacific, Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Skamania, and parts of Thurston counties. Gluesenkamp Perez has served in the position since 2023.
In 2022, Washington's 3rd District surprised the political establishment with two significant twists. First, political newcomer Joe Kent, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, surpassed Republican incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler in the primary by running to her right. Herrera Beutler was widely seen as a more moderate candidate, having voted to impeach Trump following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
District 6: Emily Randall leads Drew MacEwan
Either Democrat Emily Randall or Republican Drew MacEwen will replace longtime U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer in Washington's 6th Congressional District following the 2024 general election.
MacEwen is a 12-year state senator from Shelton. He is a Navy veteran and 23-year business owner. Randall is a hometown state senator from Bremerton.
District 7: Pramila Jayapal wins
Pramila Jayapal (D) has served Washington's 7th congressional district since 2017. Dan Alexander (R) challenged her. District 7 serves most of Seattle and Burien, all of Vashon Island, Lake Forest Park, Shoreline and Normandy Park.
District 8: Kim Schrier leads Carmen Goers
District 8 serves portions of King, Pierce and Snohomish counties and all of Kittitas and Chelan counties. Kim Schrier (D) has served in this position since 2019 and Carmen Goers (R) opposes her in the race.
District 9: Adam Smith wins
District 9 represents Federal Way, Auburn, Bellevue and parts of Seattle. Two democrats were vying for the seat. Incumbent Adam Smith has served in the position since 1997.
District 10: Marilyn Strickland wins
District 10 serves Olympia and portions of Pierce and Thurston counties. (GOP) Don Hewett challenged incumbent Democrat Marilyn Strickland. Strickland has served in the role since January of 2021.
Central and eastern Washington
District 4 serves most of central Washington, including Douglas, Okanogan, Grant, Yakima, Benton, and Klickitat counties as well as parts of Adams and Franklin counties. In District 4, Dan Newhouse (R) narrowly leads Jerrod Sesslor (R).
District 5 serves eastern Washington and is mainly centered around Spokane. The projected winner of District 5 is Michael Baumgartner, with 59.87% of the vote. Carmela Conroy (D) received just over 40% of the vote.
