Description | Lewis County Democrats have informally endorsed Denny Heck, an Olympia businessman, former Clark County legislator and the founder of public affairs channel TVW, as their choice to succeed U.S. Rep. Brian Baird in the 3rd Congressional District.
The county party is the first in Southwest Washington's 3rd District to pick a candidate after becoming the first last week to host a candidate forum. All five Democrats in the race took part in the event at Centralia College.
A total of 52 party and precinct committee officers voted. They chose Heck nearly 4-to-1 over his closest competitor, giving him 48.4 percent of the vote to 12.9 percent for state Sen. Craig Pridemore and 3.2 percent for state Rep. Deb Wallace. Another 35.5 percent said they were uncommitted to any candidate.
Candidates Cheryl Crist and Maria Rodriguez-Salazar received no votes in the polling. |
