The five candidates for the open state representative position in the 1st Legislative District are running for Position 2, not Position 1 as a recent post said.

Republican Jim Langston, and Democrats Shelley Kloba, Aaron Moreau-Cook, Darshan Rauniyar and Kyoko Matsumoto Wright are running for the open Position 2 position from the 1st District.

Incumbent Democratic Position 1 Rep. Derek Stanford is running for re-election against fellow Democrat Kaz Sugiyama, and Republicans Neil Thannisch and Brian Travis.

The candidates will run on the Aug. 2 primary ballot, with the top two vote getters for each position advancing to the November general-election ballot, regardless of party.

The 1st Legislative District includes most of Mountlake Terrace, all of Brier and Bothell, north Kirkland, unincorporated areas of King County between Bothell and Kirkland, and unincorporated areas of Snohomish County north and east of Bothell including the Maltby area.
