DescriptionDemocrat Darcy Burner announced her third campaign for Congress on Wednesday, joining a crowd of candidates jostling for the 1st Congressional District seat being vacated by Jay Inslee's run for governor.

Burner, a former Microsoft manager, ran in 2006 and 2008 to represent the Eastside's 8th Congressional District, losing both times to Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Auburn.

For the last couple of years, Burner has worked in Washington, D.C., as president and executive director of Progressive Congress.org and the Progressive Congress Action Fund, two nonprofit liberal-activist groups. She moved back to the state earlier this year to her Redmond home, which was rebuilt after a house fire three years ago.

Despite her past losses, Burner said she relishes a 2012 run in an area more aligned with her political beliefs.
