Here's who filed for office in Spokane County
May 13—Friday was the deadline to file for political office in the Aug. 6 primary in Washington, and Monday was the deadline for candidates to withdraw from races if they changed their minds.
Below are candidates for statewide office, Congress in central and Eastern Washington, and other races that will appear on the Spokane County ballot. Incumbents are marked with asterisks.
Candidate listings include their listed party and the city they gave as their residence. Candidates whose name are in italics have been declared winners because they are Superior Court candidates who were not challenged.
Note: Superintendent of public instruction and judicial roles are nonpartisan offices.
