Hobbs leads the pack in crowded secretary of state race
OLYMPIA — Secretary of State Steve Hobbs appears to be on his way to the general election, as he led seven challengers in Tuesday’s primary.
He’ll have to wait to find out who his opponent will be in November.
Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson, who is running as a nonpartisan candidate, and Republicans Bob Hagglund of Granite Falls and state Sen. Keith Wagoner of Sedro-Woolley were still in contention for the second spot when the first batch of ballot results was announced.
Hobbs, a Democrat from Lake Stevens, garnered 40.8% of the vote to lead seven challengers in Tuesday’s primary. Anderson picked up 13% in the first night of ballot counting.
