Campbell-Dunn race tightens in 17th LD
In the 17th LD (in Vancouver) in Washington state, the race between Democratic challenger Pat Campbell and Republican incumbent Jim Dunn has tightened up.
According to The Columbian, there are some 5,000 votes still to be counted. I don't know why, in a vote by mail county, the votes still to be counted would favor one candidate over another.
Maybe the vaunted GOP turnout machine is saving Jim Dunn, the least effective member of the Washington state House of Representatives. Some victory.
Republican State Rep. Jim Dunn pulled to within 144 votes of Democratic challenger Pat Campbell on Thursday as Clark County election workers continued to tally thousands of last-minute ballots.I'm not even going to hazard a guess on this one now. But Campbell would be an interesting addition to the House Democratic caucus, for many reasons, but you have to love his sense of humor.
“I’m not gloating yet,” Dunn said after the latest counts were released. “I feel a little better right now than I did an hour and a half ago because the possibility is there and it’s trending my way.”
“I’m not ecstatic yet,” he said.
On Wednesday, Dunn was trailing Campbell by 828 votes in the 17th District race.
