Three 46th Legislative District incumbent Democrats hold big primary leads

By Evan Smith

The three 46th Legislative District incumbent Democrats on the Aug. 5 primary ballot all apparently have easy paths to re-election.

Primary results released through Thursday, Aug.  14, show incumbent Democratic State Sen. David Frock with 79.32 percent of the primary vote to 20.49 percent for Republican Van Sperry, and incumbent Democratic State Rep. Jessyn Farrell with 82.14 percent to 17.57 percent for Republican challenger Branden Curtis.

Both pairs were alone on the primary ballot and will meet again in the November general election.

Incumbent Democratic State Rep. Gerry Pollet was unopposed in the primary and again will be unopposed in November.

The district includes Lake Forest Park, Kenmore and northeast Seattle.
