Show Notes

Washington State Republicans, led by Jim Walsh, are targeting five legislative districts for the 2026 elections to challenge Democratic dominance in Olympia. The party aims to block key policies by flipping four or five seats. Democrats, with a supermajority, passed an $80.2 billion budget, including a new 9.9% income tax on incomes over $1 million. Walsh warns this move, along with other policies, has put the state in crisis. The priority districts include the 48th, 10th, 24th, 26th, 5th, and 30th. Democrats defend the tax as popular and necessary for funding, while Republicans plan to use voter backlash to make gains.
