Kilmer could either be a lifer or possibly run for Senate when Murray/Cantwell retires.


Best possible recruits, in order of likely-hood:

Democrats:

State Sen. Kevin Van de Wege (Sequim)
State Rep. Mike Chapman (Port Angeles)
State Sen. Christine Rolfes (Bainbridge Island)
State Rep. Drew Hansen (Bainbridge Island)
State Rep. Laurie Jinkins (Tacoma)
Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland
Public Lands Commissioner Hillary Franz (Bainbridge Island)


Republicans:
State Sen. Jan Angel (Port Orchard)
State Rep. Michelle Caldier (Port Orchard)
State Rep. Jesse Young (Gig Harbor)
State Rep. Dan Griffey (Allyn)
State Rep. Drew MacEwen (Union)
State Rep. Jim Walsh (R - Aberdeen)

Despite being competitive on paper, Democrats have held WA-06 since 1965, and Republicans have made very little effort to change that (Closest election since 2000 was 2010, when Norm Dicks got 58% of the vote instead of his usual ~70%.

Very short time in Congress for Jason Lewis. But still, dems can only win MN-02 in a dem wave, and I don't see any on the horizon. So it would go to some other R. Hopefully someone more moderate.

...They just lost by 2% in a mild GOP year.
