On Thursday June 12, Democratic Party Nominee for the 40th District Senate, Kevin Ranker, won 74 percent of popular vote across all three counties ensuring that he gained the endorsement of the 40th LD Democrats.

Ranker has also received key endorsements from the Washington Education Association, Skagit County Commissioner Ken Dahlstedt, Anacortes Mayor Dean Maxwell, and others.

“Our campaign put a lot of work into reaching out to 40th LD democrats,” said Ranker. “It goes to show that there is no replacement for a hard-working grassroots campaign.”

Ranker has 15 years professional experience in the private and public sectors. He was elected to the San Juan County Board of County Commissioners in 2004. Ranker lives on San Juan Island with his wife and daughter.
