(109,024 posts)Well, they didn't work here. Most people in the suburbs either were born in Seattle or they work there or their adult kids live there. Trying to make Eastsiders think all Seattle-ites are loopy hippies was a dumb strategy.

(66,527 posts)Fact is, I like Spokane very much. It's just the drive into town from the sticks that sucks. TRUMP signs everywhere...

(562 posts)I'm in her district. It was her first time running and she won handily in a swing district, despite the Seattle Times's (Frank Blethlen) woeful recommendation of her opponent.
Outside groups spent millions here on a lot of propaganda that fell on deaf ears. I just have a strong hunch dems made sure to vote this time. This was anti-Trump vote.

(6,699 posts)When I moved here I watched Brian Baird throw in the towel in disgust after the "teabaggers" began their crusade to turn this country into a spinning shit blender.
Now lets turn the House and Senate and see if we can right this ship in my lifetime. I am so ashamed of the state of politics in this " once proud" nation I call my home.

(59,757 posts)Democrats will take control of the state Senate as Manka Dhingra defeated Republican rival Jinyoung Lee Englund in the 45th District state Senate race.
After the latest returns Wednesday, Democrat Dhingras double-digit lead stayed essentially the same as it was Tuesday night. She had 55.45 percent of the vote on Wednesday.
The Eastside contest has been Washingtons highest-profile state legislative race in years. A Republican-led coalition currently holds a one-vote Senate majority, but Dhingras victory flips control to the Democrats.
Democrats have a slim majority in the state House and also hold the governors office.
