Elections Explained: What’s at Stake in 2024?

The 2024 Presidential Election may dominate your social media feed, but the statewide elections in Washington will usher in a lot of change within our state. Four statewide elected officials are not running for reelection, including governor, which should make these races even more competitive.


Additionally, control of the Federal House of Representatives and Senate is up for grabs, and 3 of our 10 representatives are embroiled in competitive races that are garnering a lot of national attention. Within our State Legislature, Democrats and Republicans are both seeking to expand their number of seats in Olympia. Finally, there are four initiatives on the ballot, all of which are Republican sponsored and attempt to overturn policies passed by Democratic majorities over the the last four years.
