The District 25 contest
Two Republican incumbents are running in Washington’s State House District 25 contest in the 2026 general election. Michael Keaton and Cyndy Jacobsen are the two candidates listed in the race, which will appear before voters on Nov. 3, 2026.
The central feature of the race is that the candidates share both a party label and incumbent status. That means neither party affiliation nor the incumbent designation provides a contrast between them. Voters following the contest will need to look at each candidate separately as the election approaches.
No policy positions are documented for either candidate. There are also no campaign finance totals listed for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for either campaign.
Michael Keaton
Michael Keaton is running as a Republican and is identified as an incumbent. He is one of the two candidates in the District 25 State House contest scheduled for the November 2026 general election.
Keaton has no documented policy positions in the race. A candidate biography and campaign finance figures for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. His current distinguishing details in the contest are his name, Republican affiliation and incumbent status.
Cyndy Jacobsen
Cyndy Jacobsen is running as a Republican and is identified as an incumbent. She is one of the two candidates in the District 25 State House contest scheduled for the November 2026 general election.
Jacobsen has no documented policy positions in the race. A candidate biography and campaign finance figures for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. Her current distinguishing details in the contest are her name, Republican affiliation and incumbent status.
What is contested
The race is contested because two candidates are running for the District 25 State House position listed for the general election. Both candidates carry the same party label, and both enter the race as sitting officeholders. The contest therefore does not present a Republican-versus-Democratic choice among the listed candidates.
Policy differences have not yet been established through documented candidate positions. That leaves several basic questions for the campaign period: what priorities each candidate sets out, how each describes their record as an incumbent and whether financial reports show differences in campaign activity.
The next concrete milestone listed for the race is the general election on Nov. 3, 2026. Until then, voters can watch for candidate statements on state issues, official campaign finance figures and other election filings that clarify how Keaton and Jacobsen differ. Those developments may give voters more information beyond the two characteristics the candidates currently share: Republican affiliation and incumbent status.
