Tight political races seem to be the norm in the 2020 General Election held last week.

In the race for Legislative Dist. 10 State Senate, incumbent Republican Ron Muzzall led Helen Price Johnson by just over 1,300 votes as of press time, while in the contest for State Representative Position 1, Greg Gilday had the advantage over Angie Homola, with a margin of just over 500 votes. In Position 2, incumbent Dave Paul was leading Bill Bruch by slightly less than
1,000 votes.

In Island County, Melanie Bacon and Jill Johnson won their County Commission races. Carolyn Cliff defeated Kathleen Petrich
for Superior Court Judge Position 2. Christon Skinner ran unopposed for the Position 1 Superior Court Judge vacancy.

Finally, voters approved a ballot measure from North Whidbey Fire and Rescue for a property tax levy lift by nearly a two-to-one margin.

There have been 53,829 ballots counted as of last Friday, Nov. 6, with 50 still remaining to be counted. The next count will take place Nov. 24 and it is expected the state will certify the election results Dec. 3.
