OnAir Post: Denny Heck – WA10
News
Democrat Denny Heck was victorious Tuesday in the race for Washington state lieutenant governor.
Heck, a Democratic U.S. congressman, had 47% of the initial vote count. Marko Liias, a Democratic state senator, had 33%. The write-in vote was a surprising 19%. Joshua Freed, former Bothell mayor and a developer, ran as a write-in candidate with a platform that said he was “against raising taxes” and helping “those afflicted by drug addiction.”
A few counties had not yet reported, and hundreds of thousands of ballots remain to be counted in the coming days, but Heck holds an insurmountable lead and his campaign declared victory Tuesday night.
