Fewer than 200 votes separate Democrats dueling for WA state House seat

A close contest between two Democrats for a Washington state House seat tightened further Wednesday.

Kevin Schilling’s lead on state Rep. Edwin Obras shrank to 199 votes in their 33rd Legislative District duel in south King County. The district includes Burien, Normandy Park, Des Moines, SeaTac and much of Kent.

Schilling, the mayor of Burien, led Obras by 358 votes on Tuesday night. More votes will be counted in the days ahead.

“We are excited we got a lot closer. We will keep looking at the numbers the next couple days but this is a good sign,” said John Wyble, Obras’s campaign advisor. “The most important thing is that every vote is counted.”
