DelBene has earned support of 1st District voters
Washington state’s 1st Congressional District encompasses eastern regions of Whatcom, Skagit and King counties and the eastern Snohomish County communities of Darrington, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens, Snohomish, Monroe, Sultan, Gold Bar and Index.
U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, Democrat, has represented the district since winning election to the seat in 2012 and now seeks her fourth term. DelBene, a Medina resident, previously served as director of the state’s Department of Revenue and was at Microsoft for 12 years, including time as a vice-president for global sales, marketing and mobile technology.
She is challenged by Sultan Republican Jeffrey Beeler, a Snohomish County resident since he was a teenager in Mukilteo. A small-business owner, Beeler has served on the Sultan City Council since 2009 and represented the county’s cities on a regional transportation policy board in 2014-15.
Beeler espouses traditional Republican values, such as fiscal responsibility and support for the Trump administration’s economic policies; protection and promotion of jobs; greater border security and immigration reforms such as E-Verify.
But Beeler does make a distinction regarding how his party handled the vote over repeal of the Affordable Care Act earlier this year. Beeler said he would not have voted for the repeal because Republicans had long promised that any repeal would include a replacement for Obamacare, yet offered no such solution.
