Rossi vs. Schrier -- dead heat in the 8th, other hot House races
Schrier vs. Rossi is tied at 45 percent apiece in the latest New York Times/Siena College poll. In 2000, with the Senate split 50-49, our race was the last decided, with Maria Cantwell giving Democrats a 50th seat by unseating GOP Sen. Slade Gorton by fewer than 3,000 votes.
The nation could have more than one race at which to be impatient with in Washington. Democrat Carolyn Long, a WSU-Vancouver political science professor, has moved up on low-profile Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler in the 3rd District of Southwest Washington.
Incumbent Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers is favored in the 5th District of Eastern Washington, but is the lone member of the House Republican leadership in danger of losing her seat. Ex-State Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown has mounted a spirited challenge for a seat classified "Safe Republican" a year ago.
McMorris Rodgers has received a glowing endorsement from President Trump, a visit from Vice President Mike Pence, and is now getting help with Latino voters from a front group of billionaire oilmen Charles and David Koch.

Half of them are on issues at the state level that the rep going to Washingtion DC won't have anything to do with.
BTW I'm in the 9th next door. We get all the Rossi crap, too.
