Doglio, who has served in an Olympia-based legislative district since 2017, raked in more than $600,000 in donations, support from Sanders and close to $400,000 in outside spending support. Doglio, who is bisexual, would be the state’s first openly LGBTQ member of Congress.
She was also backed by prominent progressives in the state, including Seattle-area Rep. Pramila Jayapal and the Washington State Labor Council. She has said she would support the Green New Deal and “Medicare for All” if elected.
Doglio worked as an advocate for decades before running for elected office. She served as the founding executive director of Washington Conservation Voters from 1991 to 1995.
Reeves, who would be the state’s first Black Latina member of Congress, drew significant support in the crowded primary from BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Reeves also had the support of Rep. Adam Smith, who represented parts of the district before 2012 redistricting.
As part of her campaign, Reeves said she would back an expansion of the Affordable Care Act and “move as quickly as possible” toward universal health care coverage.
