Wesen & Turner to face off Print
By Art Shotwell (Editor)   
August 19, 2008

With first election returns in for Skagit County, it looks like Republican Ron Wesen, with 50 percent of the votes, and Democrat Bill Turner, with 37 percent, will face each other in the general election for the County Commissioner, District 1.

Leo Jacobs has only 12.5 percent of the vote in that race.

This the first Washington state primary where the top two vote-getters will face off in the general election in November.

In other races, incumbent Rick Larsen will face off with Rick Bart for Congresssional District 2. Doug Schaffer and Glen Johnson have less than 5% of the votes cast each.

Too close to call for State Senatorial District 40, which includes Anacortes. Early returns show Steve Van Luven, the only Republican in this race, with 44% and Kevin Ranker with 19%, but Ken Henderson has 17%. 

In State Senate District 10, it's clear that incumbent Mary Margaret haugen will face Linda Haddon in the general.
