Mary Margaret Haugen

Because of the delayed reporting date for July, in accordance with the seismic changes in the Public Disclosure Commission's website this summer, June's and July's entries in PolitickerWA.com's money races at a glance series have been combined into one post.

The first number listed is contributions, the second number is expenditures and the third number is the difference between the two. Precluding any unusual circumstances, that third number in bold is equal to cash on hand. The candidate with the most cash on hand is listed at the top of each section. Asterisk denotes incumbent.

With the exception of the gubernatorial and attorney general races, in-kind contributions were ignored and significant campaign loans and personal candidate contributions have been noted in parentheses where applicable.

See April's figures here, and May's figures here and the latest number after the jump.

Patricia TerryThe 10th Legislative District Democrats Executive Board met on Saturday to determine their official slate of endorsed candidates for the "top two" primary on August 19. Notably, they chose to give a sole endorsement for state House, position 2, choosing party nominee Patricia Terry (D-Stanwood) outright over fellow challenger Ann McDonald (D-Greenbank).

The top Democrat in the "top two" primary will likely advance to the general election along with the incumbent, Rep. Barbara Bailey (R-Oak Harbor).

This is what the LD10 Democrats had to say about their endorsement of Terry:

"Patricia Terry, a 30-year Registered Nurse, performance evaluator, regional manager (West/Far East) quality oversight with the Department of Defense, and Masters degree in Public Administration makes her an especially attractive Candidate." 

Despite winning the yard sign war in many of communities along the highways of the 10th Legislative District, and regardless of the fact that Republicans have made state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen's (D-Camano Island) seat one of their top targets in the state this year, the latest poll shows Republican challenger Linda Haddon (R-Oak Harbor) has not been able to crack the incumbency barrier.

Jerry Cornfield at the Everett Herald reports that the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee paid for a poll of 400 registered voters in the district, which showed Haugen with a 20 point lead over Haddon, 49-29. Haugen, who chairs the Transportation Committee, won re-election in 2004 with barely 50 percent of the vote.

The 10th Legislative District held its nomination meeting Thursday night at Skagit Valley Community College in Mt. Vernon where they officially endorsed Patricia Taylor over Ann McDonald for the Democratic nomination for state House, position 2. The official weighted PCO count was 220 for Taylor and 13 for McDonald.

The District also nominated Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen for re-election to the Senate and Tim Knue for state Representative, position1.
