With few ballots left, most Highline area contests are settled. The tightest race remains Highline Schools, where Joe Van leads by 400 votes.

"After a long campaign, From the bottom of my heart — thank you..." - Peter Kwon

Day 5 results show most races stable - except Highline’s District 3, where Joe Van now leads Katie Kresly by 387 votes.

A strong early lead should be reassuring, yet successive ballot drops often erase it—fueling frustration, suspicion, and calls for reform.

Statement from Stephanie Mora, Burien City Council Member, on her race: “While the election results are clearly disappointing, I’m deeply grateful for all of your support this election season. We did our best but Burien has decided to take a different path. It has been my honor to serve

Statement from Kevin Schilling, Candidate for State Representative for the 33rd District: “The people who voted made their decision. While I’m disappointed in the outcome, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who stood with me in this campaign to push against extremism of all kinds and for common sense

Day 4 ballot results show one race still razor-thin, with Kresly leading by just 75 votes as other contests widen.

New ballots flipped the scoreboard: Schilling and Hohimer both slide, while Kresly keeps the lead in a nail-biter race.
