Kent voters will have numerous federal and state races to decide this year in the Aug. 2 primary and Nov. 8 general election.<\/p>\n
The races in the Kent area included two for Congress as incumbents Adam Smith, D-District 9 and Kim Schrier, D-8, try to hold onto their seats.<\/p>\n
For the state Legislature, District 47 includes a Senate race and two House races. Nobody challenged the three incumbents in District 33.<\/p>\n
The two candidates with the most votes in the primary advance to the general election.<\/p>\n
Candidates had the week of May 16-20 to file with King County Elections.<\/p>\n
