Republicans in Washington are heading into a critical election year, hoping to switch up the leadership following longtime Democratic control in the Evergreen State.“Serving as the Chairman of the WSRP has been one of the highest honors of my life,” Heimlich said in a statement. “Traveling this great state, meeting thousands of committed people, working tirelessly with them to help elect great candidates, each moment has been both challenging and rewarding.
"I believe the Washington State Republican Party is poised for positive change and success at the state and federal level," Heimlich said."Leadership transitions often provide fresh perspectives and energy, both of which can be instrumental during crucial election periods such as this." Gov. Jay Inslee announced last month that he would not seek a fourth term, setting up a competitive primary as he currently is the longest-serving governor in the country.
Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs became the first Democrat to be elected secretary of state in more than 60 years in 2022. There are no candidates from either party currently in that race.
