Gov. Jay Inslee secured a third term on November 3 in the state of Washington.

He won with a total of 1,964,141 to Loren Culp’s 1,338,491.

This is the third term for the Democratic Governor.

Voters likely defeated Measure 2 on November 2.

However, final vote totals may take up to a couple of weeks to announce.

Measure 2 would have established ranked-choice voting for general elections, including the presidential election, in which voters would rank the candidates.

The measure would also replace partisan primaries with open top-four primaries for state executive, state legislative, and congressional offices.

Additionally, the measure requires persons and entities contributing more than $2,000 derived from donations, contributions, dues, or gifts to disclose the true sources (as defined by law) of the political contributions.

On the morning of June 23, 15 House Republicans met in the Statehouse to discuss and air grievances over Gov. Brad Little’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lawmakers read a multi-page statement against the actions of Little, stating he had violated the separation of powers within the state.

However, despite calls from GOP groups and protesters, lawmakers decided not to conduct any legislative action before ending the unofficial session.
