Here Are The 2018 Candidates For Races In Mercer Island

2018 is going to be a heavy year for legislative races. See who's running for office near you.

SEATTLE, WA - Friday was the deadline for candidates to file to run for office in 2018. This year's races are mostly all state, federal, and judicial. Only Seattle has a citywide election this year for Seattle Municipal Court judge, and they're all running opposed.

In most legislative districts, three seats are up for election: one state senator and two state representatives (positions 1 and 2). In federal races, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell will try to keep her U.S. Senate seat, and is being challenged by former state GOP chair Susan Hutchison.

See who's running in race near you (candidates have until the end of day Monday to withdraw, so this list might change):
