Larkin to face Schrier in Washington congressional race, as Dunn concedes; Kent closes in on Herrera Beutler

SEATTLE — Metropolitan King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn conceded defeat Thursday to Republican businessman Matt Larkin in the race to take on Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Kim Schrier this fall.

The concession in the swing 8th District race came after Dunn fell further behind Larkin in a new round of ballot counts Thursday afternoon.

“I just got off the phone with Matt Larkin and congratulated him on winning the Republican primary for Congress,” Dunn said in an interview. “He ran a really clean issues-oriented campaign. It was an honorable way to run his campaign and I am excited to support him as he runs in the general election.”
