McKinney vs Newhouse in Wash State | Spokane News
Description
Amanda McKinney is poised to become the next representative for Washington’s 4th District, crushing her GOP primary and looking like a lock to win in November against Democrat John Duresky — but she’s not getting the blessing from outgoing Rep. Dan Newhouse, who refuses to endorse either candidate, saying voters should pick who best represents them. While some Republicans like State Sen. Matt Boehnke praise McKinney as the conservative choice, others, including Jerrod Sessler, are hesitant — calling her a moderate and raising red flags over her campaign’s outside funding from crypto and AI-linked super PACs. Meanwhile, Duresky, a retired Air Force major, is hoping to pull off an upset in a district that hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1990. With Election Day just weeks away, voters will decide whether this reliably red seat stays Republican or flips blue — and whether McKinney can unite her party despite internal fractures.
