## Resource

Washington’s 6th legislative district heads to the polls August 4 for a high-stakes primary that could reshape the state’s political landscape. With two Republican seats up for grabs in a district that leans GOP but sits in a Democratic-controlled legislature, candidates must appeal across party lines—or risk being left behind. In Position One, six contenders including Air Force vet Alan Nolan, housing advocate Isaiah Paine, and veteran city council member Jennifer Morton battle to replace incumbent Mike Volz, while Democrat Michaela Kelso and others push for tax relief and regulatory reform. For Position Two, Republican Jonathan Bingle, independent Aaron Croft, and Democrat Julia Payne vie to succeed Jenny Graham, each touting cross-party collaboration or community-driven change. Housing, taxes, and public safety dominate the race as voters decide who’ll navigate Olympia’s partisan waters—and who’ll survive to the general election.
