GOP takes early leads in state legislative races
Statewide election returns Tuesday indicated Republicans are sharply reducing Democratic majorities in the Legislature, with control of the Senate potentially up for grabs.
"We're definitely gaining," said State GOP Chairman Luke Esser, watching early returns. "The wind is blowing our way for the first time in a long time."
From Bellevue to Bellingham, Spokane to Vancouver, Republican candidates took early leads in a number of closely watched races for seats that have been held by Democratic incumbents, or by Democrats retiring from the Legislature.
