Emily Randall has been a “person to watch” in Washington politics for a while now. 

Randall’s first electoral victory was in 2018, when she flipped a Republican held state Senate seat in the 26th district. 

Now, Randall is headed to Congress. Last month, she won the election to become the U.S. Representative-elect for Washington’s 6th district. That includes both peninsulas, most of Tacoma, and counties including Kitsap, Mason, and Grays Harbor.

Randall is heading to the other Washington where, unlike this one, Republicans control the House, Senate and executive branch. And Democrats are weighing their options for how to maintain any semblance of power in the new administration.

Guest:

• Emily Randall, U.S. Representative-elect for Washington's 6th district
