Tight race for 44th District falls along party lines
LAKE STEVENS — After losing his seat in 2018, Republican Mark Harmsworth is back in the 44th District and looking to unseat Democratic incumbent Brandy Donaghy.
Last fall, the Snohomish County Council appointed Donaghy to fill a vacancy left by John Lovick, D-Mill Creek. Donaghy won the seat in a 4-1 vote in late 2021.
Harmsworth has served two terms as a state representative in the 44th District, winning elections in 2014 and 2016. In 2018, Jared Mead — now a County Council member — challenged Harmsworth, ousting him with 53.3% of the vote.
After four years, Harmsworth is back and aiming to turn the seat red again.
