Incumbent Democrat Patty Murray was first elected in 1992, with 54% of the vote, filling the seat of retiring Brock Adams. Senator Murray won re-election to a fifth term in 2016 with 59% of the vote. She is running for re-election to a sixth term.[1]
Because Washington has a blanket primary system, parties will not nominate a candidate to run in the general election. Instead, every candidate will appear on the same ballot, regardless of their party affiliation. The top two vote-getters will advance to the general election.
