Voters in Lincoln County had their candidate lineup choices simplified tonight, as the Washington State 13th legislative district seat narrowed to two candidates in what was a race of three.

Current legislative representative Tom Dent (R) and contender Eduardo Castaneda-Diaz (D) will be vying for voters this fall to represent the district that covers Lincoln, Grant and Yakima Counties. Third candidate John “the man” Malan pulled only 2 percent of the vote as of election night. Dent received over 80 percent of the vote, with Castaneda-Diaz pulled 13 percent of voters in the Tues. night initial count.

The offices open in Lincoln County either had only two candidates or a single candidate running unopposed. For more details, read this week’s edition of the Davenport Times.
