Derek Kilmer is a moderate Democrat who is a reliable supporter of creating jobs and improving infrastructure. He has been a leader on small business development and protecting Puget Sound during his first term. A former State Senator, he worked as a business consultant and economic development official before becoming a legislator. Kilmer is being challenged by conservative Republican Marty McClendon, whom he soundly defeated in a 2010 state Senate race, and Green Party candidate Douglas Milholland. Milholland is running on a campaign of environmentalism and nonviolence. Kilmer’s experience and ability to work across the aisle on behalf of the district make him the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05

No Good Choices
There are no good candidates in this race. Pam Roach is
extremely conservative and very volatile. She has been banned from her caucus
for abusing fellow legislators and has been censured for abusing staff. She
also isn't afraid to buck her party on some occasions and has been good on some
labor issues, which has earned her support from several labor unions. Her
Democratic opponent, Lynda Messner, is also quite conservative and has made
controversial remarks against immigrants and President Obama. The other
Republican in this race, Cathy Dalquist, has been a consistently conservative
vote and an obstacle to progress in the House.
