Where the race stands
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Voters will choose a representative for Washington’s 4th Congressional District from a field that includes an incumbent and 10 challengers.
The candidate designations identify how each person is listed in the race, but they do not establish individual positions on legislation or district issues. With no documented policy positions on file for any candidate, voters cannot yet compare the field on specific proposals through these official records.
Campaign finance filings are another part of the public record voters can follow. Hughs is the only candidate in this field with fundraising and spending totals listed here, while the other candidates do not have those figures on file. Those totals describe money raised and spent, not electoral support or the outcome of the race.
