OLYMPIA — Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal will seek another four-year term as leader of the state’s public schools system.
Reykdal informed supporters in an email Thursday that began “Happy 4th of July. A great day to announce to you that I am running for a second term.”
Reykdal, a Tumwater resident, was born and raised in Snohomish. He is a former high school history teacher and school board member.
A Democrat, he served three terms in the state House of Representatives before winning the statewide post in 2016.
That year, he finished second to Erin Jones in a nine-person primary. In the general election, Reykdal edged Jones by a single percentage point.
