Primary Law Change Favored to Affect Tacoma Nomination
Pierce County seeks to change the primary law in a looming special session to allow direct primary selection for the vacant congressional seat after Fr. Cushman’s death. Law currently exempts unexpired terms from the act, risking a Tacoma victory through convention delegates. Governor Hay plans no action until November while the legislature may build the legal framework for the main election.
