Race for 42nd District Down to Four Votes | Seattle News
Description
In a nail-biting race for Washington’s 42nd legislative district, two Democrats—Michael Shepard and Eamonn Collins—are separated by just four votes in a recount-bound showdown. With over 50,000 ballots cast, this razor-thin margin underscores how every vote matters, especially as the winner faces Republican Erika Creydt in November. Shepard, an anthropology instructor and port commissioner backed by the current senator, clashes with progressive educator Collins, who’s positioning himself as the bold challenger. With rules favoring a manual recount and the outcome still undecided, this tight contest is a powerful reminder that even in a shifting Democratic district, one vote can change everything.
