Democrat Luc Jasmin III has taken a narrow lead in the Washington state primary for a House seat, with 12,481 votes (32.7%), ahead of Republican Natalie Poulson (12,372 votes, 32.5%) and Democrat Pam Kohlmeier (11,581 votes, 30.4%). Jasmin previously stated to JNS that it would not be "fair" to call Hamas a terror organization, a comment Poulson deemed “discrediting.” This statement followed inquiries about his father, Luc fils Jasmin, who resigned from the Washington State Human Rights Commission due to antisemitic remarks. The top two candidates, regardless of party, will advance to the general election in November. Ballots are still being counted, with certification expected by August 18.
