| Description | You can't find much the six Democrats vying for a rare open seat in the 43rd legislative district disagree on — except which one would be the best successor to Rep. Ed Murray, who is running for state Senate.
And they're not even terribly far off on that point.
"I've got five good opponents and they are working their heads off," said former Seattle City Councilman Jim Street, one of the contenders, with the politeness that has marked the Democratic primary race.
Although the winner of next week's primary will face Republican Hugh Foskett on Nov. 7, in this liberal Seattle district, which spans Fremont, Wallingford, the University District, South Lake Union and Capitol Hill, the Democratic winner is virtually guaranteed the seat.
All six candidates talk about closing corporate tax loopholes, protecting the environment, funding education and supporting gay rights. They only differ in the order they would place those priorities, and in the life experience they'd bring to the job. |
