Dr. Kim Schrier (D) defeats Dino Rossi (R) in the 8th Congressional District

The Washington State Congressional Delegation just got a little bluer as Democratic candidate Dr. Kim Schrier beat Republican candidate Dino Rossi in the state’s only open-seat contest at the federal level. Currently held by Congressman Dave Reichert, a Republican who is retiring in December, the 8th Congressional District spans from Mount Rainier north to Issaquah, east to Ellensburg, and north to Lake Chelan. Historically, the district has elected Democratic presidents and Republican Members of Congress.

The open-seat race drew in millions of dollars on both sides of the aisle. It was the most expensive Congressional race in the country, with spending topping $28 million. Schrier won by about six percentage points.
