Amanda McKinney and John Duresky Advance in Washington’s 4th District Race

Following the decision by incumbent Republican Representative Dan Newhouse not to seek reelection, the race to fill his seat in Washington's 4th Congressional District has narrowed to two candidates. According to projections from Decision Desk HQ, Republican Amanda McKinney and Democrat John Duresky have successfully advanced past a primary field that included 11 other contenders.

The transition in this district follows Newhouse’s announcement last December that he would be stepping down. The primary results now set the stage for a general election contest between McKinney and Duresky. While the primary process involved a significant number of candidates, the field has now been consolidated, shifting the focus toward the November ballot. The outcome of this race will determine the future representation of the district, which has historically been a focal point for regional political shifts within the state.
