Ex-Democratic leader from Mukilteo switches parties for state House run
MUKILTEO — Riaz Khan, the former vice chair of the 21st Legislative District Democrats, threw his hat into the ring for a state House seat this week — as a Republican.
Khan, a former Mukilteo City Council member, is running against nine-year incumbent state Rep. Strom Peterson, a Democrat from Edmonds who also serves on the Snohomish County Council.
Just days before filing for election, Khan still held a seat with local Democratic party leadership.
Khan resigned this week, before filing for the race Tuesday evening.
