Description | State Rep. Fred Jarrett, a moderate Mercer Island Republican who has sometimes felt at odds with his more conservative colleagues, is switching parties. He plans to run for the state Senate as a Democrat next year.
Jarrett has been the last remaining Republican lawmaker in the once heavily Republican eastside suburbs in the Bellevue area. He says the GOP is increasingly dominated by the right wing and that the issues he cares about, such as roads and schools, will be decided in the Democratic caucuses of Olympia. |
