Show Notes

Washington State Republicans aim to flip four to five legislative districts in the 2026 elections to challenge Democratic dominance in Olympia. The party chair, Jim Walsh, criticizes the recent two billion dollar spending hike and a new tax on incomes over one million dollars, warning it could expand to everyday taxpayers. The priority districts include the 48th, 10th, 24th, 26th, 5th, and 30th, with some Democrats in these areas voting against the tax and a few retiring. Democrats, led by chair Shasti Conrad, defend the tax as popular for funding schools and infrastructure, expecting lawsuits or ballot fights over the tax.
