OLYMPIA -- Republican Reagan Dunn and Democrat Bob Ferguson have advanced to the November election in the attorney general's race.
Early results from Tuesday's primary showed both men garnering enough votes to move on in Washington's top-two system. Dunn and Ferguson are both King County Council members.
Secretary of state
Republican Kim Wyman has advanced to the fall election in the secretary of state's race, where she'll likely meet Democrat Kathleen Drew. Wyman has been Thurston County's auditor since 2001. Drew is a former state senator. She was outpacing two other high-profile Democrats: former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and state Sen. Jim Kastama.
Insurance commissioner
Incumbent Mike Kreidler has advanced to the fall election in the state insurance commissioner's race. The Democrat will likely face Republican John Adams. Kreidler was getting more than 50 percent of the vote in early primary returns Tuesday night, with Adams placing second.
Lands commissioner
Incumbent Peter Goldmark will face Republican Clint Didier in the fall in the race for commissioner of public lands. Didier is a farmer and rancher in Franklin County, and ran unsuccessfully for the GOP Senate nomination in the 2010 election. Goldmark, a Democrat, is seeking his second term.
State schools race
It's looking like incumbent Randy Dorn will advance to the fall election uncontested in the race for superintendent of public instruction.
Lieutenant governor
Longtime Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, a Democrat, and Republican Bill Finkbeiner have advanced to the fall election.
10th District
Pierce County Councilman Dick Muri, a Republican, and TVW founder and Democrat Denny Heck have advanced to the fall election in Washington's newest congressional district.
6th District
Republican Bill Driscoll emerged Tuesday to come in second place in the 6th District race. He will face state Sen. Derek Kilmer, the only Democrat in the race, who handily won the primary. Incumbent Norm Dicks is retiring.
State auditor
Republican James Watkins will likely face state Rep. Troy Kelley, a Democrat, in the race for state auditor this fall. Longtime Democratic incumbent Brian Sonntag is retiring after 20 years.
