King County will mail voters’ pamphlets for the August primary election in a few days, but the information is already available on line at either the secretary of state’s web site under “Primary Voters Guide” or through a link at the King County elections web site under “Your voter guide.”
Here’s the information about the three candidates for State representative, position 1, an open seat in the 32nd Legislative District, a district that includes Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Woodway, part of Edmonds and unincorporated areas in both King and Snohomish counties.
Incumbent Democrat Maralyn Chase is giving up the seat to run for the State Senate. Running to replace Chase are Republican Art Codey, and Democrats Cindy Ryu and Doris Fujioka McConnell.
Here is the voters-pamphlet information from the secretary of state’s web site:
