In the Primary results, incumbent Davidson pulled in 47% of the vote, while Pellicciotti had 53%. The position of state treasurer has a four-year term.

Davidson has been in the state treasurer role since 2016, and was Benton County Treasurer from 2003-2016. Pellicciotti’s experience, as written in his candidate statement, comes from his time serving as a Washington State Representative and as a member of the House Capital Budget Committee.
