KING COUNTY, Wash. Incumbent Dow Constantine is leading the primary race for King County executive after an initial ballot count Aug. 3.
Constantine has 54% of the vote.
Top challenger Joe Nguyen is trailing Constantine, but holding strong, with 30% of the vote.
Bill Hirt has 12% of the vote.
The top two primary candidates move on to the general election in November. I think if I were the executive with these numbers, I’d be a little concerned. He’s going to have to put the jets on and really work hard to get higher percentages, KING 5 Political analyst Ron Sims said.
