Early Primary Election results looking good for Dems!

The votes in all of the August 2 primary elections are still being counted, but the early results look very promising for Democrats. In the words of Andrew Villeneuve, State Committee Member for the 45th LD Democrats and Executive Director of the Northwest Progressive Institute, “contrary to what many pundits, journalists, and Republican operatives had said, there was no red tide. Instead, Democrats dominated.” (Photo courtesy of Lincoln Potter)
