Based on unofficial 2022 primary election results, candidates Julia Reed and Jeff Manson are set to advance to the general election in the contested District 36 state representative race.
Reed emerged the leader on election night, Aug. 2, garnering over 11,000 votes, and that lead has increased, as of Friday. Manson also secured his place on November’s ballot. As of Friday, he had 5,846 votes, while candidate Waylon Robert had 4,481 votes, only slightly more than the remaining two challengers Nicole Gomez Elizabeth Tyler Crone.
Reed and Manson are vying for District 36 state representative position 1, which is currently filled by Noel Frame. After state Sen.

State Rep. Liz Berry is running unopposed for District 36 position 2.
In other primary races, based on unofficial results, incumbent U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, and challenger Tiffany Smiley, a Republican, will advance to November’s general election, according to results released Saturday.
In the U.S. representative race for Congressional District 7, Democratic incumbent Rep. Jamila Jayapal will advance, with Cliff Moon, a Republican, leading among her challengers, as of Saturday. In the Washington Secretary of State race, incumbent Steve Hobbs will take on nonpartisan challenger Julie Anderson.
