This year’s election marks the first time since Dow Constantine took office in 2009 that he faces a prominent reelection challenger in state Sen. Joe Nguyen. Constantine’s past election challengers have primarily been Republicans, including his most recent opponent in 2017, Bill Hirt, who lost by a wide 77% to 22% margin, and who ran again in 2021. Nguyen, though, is a fellow Democrat.

If elected, this would be Constantine’s fourth term as King County Executive, leading one of the largest regional governments in the United States.
