Republicans Sutherland, Low locked in tight primary battle
EVERETT — A controversial Republican state lawmaker was fending off the challenge of a fellow Republican Tuesday, but their duel could continue into the fall.
Incumbent Rep. Robert Sutherland was beating Sam Low, a Snohomish County Council member, in an intraparty clash of contrasting political styles and approach.
Sutherland garnered 31.3% to lead the four-way race for the House seat in the 39th Legislative District. Close behind was Low with 26.4%. Under Washington’s top-two primary, both will advance if the results hold.
Democrat Claus Joens held down the third spot with Democrat Karl de Jong fourth.

Pretty much a rural district.
