Editorial: Larsen represents his district well in D.C.

The Nov. 6 election pits a congressional Democratic veteran of nearly 18 years against a candidate who wants to serve as Congress’ first elected Libertarian.

Washington’s 2nd Congressional District takes in all of San Juan and Island counties and the cities and communities along the I-5 corridor in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties from Bellingham to Brier.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, Democrat, first won election to the district in 2000. Now an Everett resident, Larsen was born and raised in Arlington, and worked previously for the Port of Everett and served on the Snohomish County Council.

Brian Luke, a Lynnwood grocery department manager, topped a field of five challengers in the primary to win a spot on the general election ballot, defeating the next closest candidate by 51 votes. Luke ran for the seat in 2016, but did not advance to the general election that year.
