| Description | Spokane businessman Chris Marr looks like he has beaten Republican state Sen. Brad Benson. This is the first time a Democrat has won the seat since before World War II.
It is the 6th Legislative District once held by Jim West.
This one is a sign of the breadth of the Democratic victories today. Since 1994 Democrats have failed to make inroads in Eastern Washington. The only Democrats on the east side have been Bill Grant of Walla Walla and the three legislators from Spokane's liberal 3rd District.
Democrat Don Barlow is also leading state Rep. John W. Serben, R-Spokane, in the 6th District House seat.
Another big win for Democrats in Spokane was the defeat of longtime County Commissioner Phil Harris by neighborhood activist Bonnie Mager. |
