Capitol Hill Voters Face Key Ballot Battles | Seattle News

Primary ballots are rolling out across Capitol Hill and the Central District, with voters facing high-stakes races for State Senate, city judges, and a congressional seat. In the 43rd Senate District, challenger Hannah Sabio-Howell has seized the Democratic endorsement over longtime incumbent Jamie Pedersen, who helped pass the Millionaires Tax. Meanwhile, former City Councilmember Kshama Sawant is making a bold independent run against Rep. Adam Smith in the 9th District, aiming to ignite a national labor movement. Voters also weigh a major library funding measure that would boost security, social services, and branch renovations — including a significant boost for the Central Library. With a top-two primary system, every race could see unexpected outcomes come November. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
