2026 general election results: Wednesday update
Washington State | Unofficial count as of Tuesday, November 10, 2026 | Prepared by Lobby Washington for the Washington Business Properties Association
Election overview
Counties posted their latest results Tuesday, and the 35th District Senate race changed leaders. About 3.11 million ballots have now been counted, with roughly 75,000 left statewide. Counties did not post new counts Wednesday for Veterans Day. Everything here is unofficial until counties certify on November 24. The full race-by-race results, including a day-by-day look at the closest races, follow.
What changed since our last update:
- Sen. Drew MacEwen retook the lead in the 35th. Tuesday's counts put MacEwen ahead of Carolina Mejia by about 450 votes, after Mejia had led every count since election night. That is just outside the range for an automatic recount. If it holds, the Senate stays at 30 Democrats and 19 Republicans, with no change from before the election.
- The 25th District is now a four-vote race. Rep. Cyndy Jacobsen leads Jenn Marie Strickling by 4 votes out of more than 56,000 cast, well within the range for an automatic hand recount. Pierce County still has ballots to count, and Strickling has won most of its post-election counts. If she pulls ahead, House Democrats would reach 69 seats.
- Stacy Willoughby declared victory in the 12th. Her lead over Rep. Brian Burnett grew to about 730 votes.
- Rep. Cindy Ryu has won the 32nd District Senate seat over Sen. Jesse Salomon, a race between two Democrats.
- Rep. Tarra Simmons's lead over Daria Ilgen in the 23rd narrowed to about 260 votes, within the range for an automatic machine recount.
Washington's congressional races
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has won reelection in the 3rd District, so Senate Republican Leader John Braun returns to Olympia, where his state Senate seat was not on the ballot this year. Rep. Michael Baumgartner leads Carmela Conroy in the 5th by more than 10,000 votes and has claimed victory, though the race has not been officially called. If it holds, Washington's delegation stays at eight Democrats and two Republicans.
Washington ballot initiatives
- I-645 (income tax repeal): FAILED, by about 16 points, and the race has been called. The fight now moves to the courts.
- I-638 (girls' school sports): PASSED, and the race has been called. A lawsuit challenging it has since been filed.
- I-001 (Parents' Bill of Rights): FAILING, by about 5 points.
- Tacoma Safe Homes for All (Measure 1): PASSING (no new count yet).
- Bellingham Rent-Pricing Ban (Initiative 26-01): PASSING (no new count yet).
Washington Supreme Court
Sean O'Donnell still leads in the open Position 4 by about 38,000 votes. Candidates backed by the governor and Democratic leaders still lead comfortably in the other four races.
Washington State Legislature
House. Nine Democratic pickups still lead. In the 25th, David Berg's lead over Rep. Michael Keaton grew to about 900 votes, while the other 25th District seat is down to 4 votes. Republicans still lead in the 35th House races and the open 39th.
Senate. MacEwen now leads in the 35th, as noted above, and Ryu won the 32nd. If current leads hold, the Senate is unchanged at 30 to 19.
Moderate Democrats. Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos lost to fellow Democrat Kelabe Tewolde, and challengers from the left still lead Reps. Amy Walen and Melanie Morgan. Rep. Tarra Simmons still leads Daria Ilgen in the 23rd, but the race is close enough for a recount.
What it adds up to. The seven called pickups alone give House Democrats 66 seats, exactly the two-thirds line. Leads in the 12th and the 25th would bring that to 68, and the four-vote race in the 25th could make it 69. In the Senate, Democrats keep their current majority unless Mejia retakes the lead.
Washington's balance of power if current leads hold
| Body | Before | If current leads hold | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| State House (98) | 59 D, 39 R | 68 D, 30 R | D +9 |
| State Senate (49) | 30 D, 19 R | 30 D, 19 R | No change |
| U.S. House delegation (10) | 8 D, 2 R | 8 D, 2 R | No change |
The House number could reach 69 if Strickling overtakes Jacobsen, and the Senate number depends on the 35th, where MacEwen leads by about 450 votes.
What this means for us
About 27 new lawmakers are on track to arrive in Olympia in January, and they are forming their views on the issues that matter to WBPA members now. If you are in one of their districts, let us know and we will set up a meeting before session begins. The table at the end of this report lists every new lawmaker by district.
A reminder: the Center for Pragmatic Leadership's Washington Summit is November 30 through December 2 at Semiahmoo. Please have your leadership register at luma.com/g47bu0ko and let me know you are going.
What comes next
Counties will keep posting new counts through the rest of the week. Counties certify on November 24, and any automatic recounts would follow certification. We will send our next update as the final close races settle, or sooner if one changes hands. The 2027 session convenes Monday, January 11.

Statewide ballot measures
| Measure | What a Yes vote does | Yes | No | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I-645 (income tax repeal) | Repeals SB 6346, the 9.9% tax on household income above $1 million (effective 2028), and bars income taxes at every level of government | 42.0% (1,307,107) | 58.0% (1,804,693) | FAILING |
| I-638 (girls' school sports) | Requires middle and high school athletes to compete based on sex at birth | 56.0% (1,732,343) | 44.0% (1,362,534) | PASSING |
| IL26-001 (Parents' Bill of Rights) | Restores the original 2024 text of I-2081, undoing the Legislature's 2025 changes | 47.6% (1,441,164) | 52.4% (1,589,122) | FAILING |
The No side outraised the initiative campaigns by a wide margin, more than $18 million against Let's Go Washington's mostly signature-gathering budget, with a separate $3.8 million Yes on I-645 effort. Washington voters have rejected income tax proposals at the ballot every time since the 1930s, most recently in 2010.

Latest figures are the Secretary of State's count as of Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Percentages include write-ins, as the state reports them. If current leads hold, House Democrats gain nine seats (12-1, 14-1, 14-2, 17-1, 17-2, 18-1, 18-2, 25-1, 26-2) for a 68 to 30 majority. In multi-candidate primaries, the A / B primary figures show only the two who advanced.
New lawmakers by district
If current leads hold, these candidates will take seats they do not hold today. If one of these districts is yours, or your members’, let us know and we will set up a meeting before session begins on January 11.
