Schlicher/Angel Senate Race Tops $1.1 Million and Rising

The sole partisan contested  Legislative Senate race on Washington State’s November General Election ballot is to fill the 26th L.D. Senate seat in Kitsap County vacated by Derek Kilmer. Kilmer was  elected to Congress last November. Democrat Nathan Schlicher is a doctor who was appointed to fill the vacancy and is being challenged by Republican Jan Angel who was a Representative in the district and also the ALEC chair for Washington State.

Campaign dollars are flowing into this race  and the total amount is fast rising. The combined total of money raised now exceeds $1,160,887  according to latest PDC filings as of  the 10th of September.

( Two other Senate seats in the 7th LD and 8th LD are also on the ballot but comprise Republicans only as the top two Primary winners face off against each other)

The 26th LD race is receiving lots of attention and money because of the closeness of the makeup of the Washington State Senate, which essentially turned Republican, with the deflection last January of 2 Democrats – Rodney Tom of the 48th LD and Tim Sheldon of the 35th LD.

Last November Democrats won a  26 to 23 majority in the Senate but with the deflection of Tom and Sheldon this switched to a 24 Democrats to 23 Republicans to 2 turncoat Democrats. The 23 Republicans and two deflecting Democrats formed a Majority Coalition with Rodney Tom as the new Majority Leader. Democrats still controlled the House and the Governor’s office.

Here are the total campaign dollars reported so far and detailed donations to the candidates campaign committees.
