GOP duel: County Councilman Sam Low to challenge Rep. Robert Sutherland
LAKE STEVENS — Snohomish County Councilman Sam Low is launching a campaign for a state legislative seat that would pit him against Rep. Robert Sutherland, a fellow Republican whose embrace of Donald Trump’s false claims of widespread election fraud has cost him support among party moderates.
Low, re-elected to the council by a resounding margin in November, announced his candidacy late Sunday night, saying that “now is the right time to give the voters a choice in who they want to represent them in Olympia.”
He will challenge Sutherland, of Granite Falls, in the 39th Legislative District, a Republican stronghold.
Low said he had not considered running until the state Redistricting Commission issued its final map for legislative district boundaries in mid-November. It shifts Lake Stevens out of the 44th District and into the 39th. Monroe, Gold Bar and Sultan will be moved out of the 39th and into the 12th. More than two-thirds of residents will live in Snohomish County and the rest in Skagit County.

Not a fan of either of them. Lowe unfortunately is my county councilman due to the goofy way the districts are drawn up. I live in unincorporated Snohomish County between Everett and Mill Creek. For some stupid ass reason I'm lumped in with east county.
