Kim Schrier is probably going to make it through the primary and face Dino Rossi in the fall.
She’s lived in Issaquah for 16 years. She’s a woman, and this is shaping up to be the Year of the Woman.

The Democratic Party has instructed its candidates to run on it, and those who run on it have seen positive results. And Schrier will be the first to tell you that electing her would mean sending a female physician to Congress, a place that currently has zero female physicians.
