Battle for the 8th

Just outside Seattle in Washington’s 8th district, there’s a tight race playing out in the midterms.

Democratic incumbent Kim Schrier is up against Republican Matt Larkin for a seat that could shift control of Congress.

Historically the 8th has voted red, but that changed in 2018 with Schrier's win, and now it looks like it's up for grabs again.

KUOW political reporter David Hyde is here to bring us up to speed on this race.
