2022 WA Senate Race

2022 WA Senate Race

Summary

The 2022 United States Senate election in Washington will be held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Washington.

Incumbent Democrat Patty Murray was first elected in 1992, with 54% of the vote, filling the seat of retiring Brock Adams. Senator Murray won re-election to a fifth term in 2016 with 59% of the vote. She is running for re-election to a sixth term.

Because Washington has a blanket primary system, parties will not nominate a candidate to run in the general election. Instead, every candidate will appear on the same ballot, regardless of their party affiliation. The top two vote-getters in the August 2 nonpartisan blanket primary will advance to the general election.

Quotes: 
So many people who are working 40 hours a week are still living in poverty because our federal minimum wage is too low—and tipped workers, youth workers, and workers with disabilities are being paid even less. That’s unacceptable, and it’s why we need to #RaiseTheWage.
