Rep. Liias won't face Democrat foe

Posted at 9:53 am by Jerry Cornfield

Conversations about Snohomish County labor leader and Democrat activist Darrell Chapman running against Democratic Rep. Marko Liias are over.

At least they are for me. As one who speculated a lot on the subject, I’m done. That is unless Chapman changes his mind.

Here’s the brief back story.

In January, Liias beat out Chapman for the appointment to this job representing the 21st Legislative District. Chapman thought about taking Liias on via the ballot and decided against it. Last month Chapman said he had begun to rethink his position at the behest of other Democrats.

Then on May 3, the state Labor Council backed Liias. On May 10, Liias won the Democratic Party nomination on a unanimous vote of precinct committee officers in the district.

Chapman, I was told, voted for Liias.
