## Overview[edit]

The Washington state treasurer serves as the state's chief financial officer and is responsible for managing cash flow, debt, and major investments. The treasurer also manages the sale of bonds that fund government projects, such as a $16.1 billion transportation package that was approved in 2015.

Washington holds top-two primary elections, in which all candidates run against each other regardless of party affiliation, and the top-two vote getters advance to the general election. Republican Michael Waite had a significant fundraising lead heading into the primary, reporting over $80,000 in contributions as of July 2016. Democrat John Paul Comerford reported the second highest total contributions at just over $43,000; Democratic state Sen. Marko Liias had earned more key endorsements than any other primary candidate. Waite and fellow Republican Duane Davidson placed second and first respectively in the August 2 primary election.

## Context of the 2016 election[edit]

### Primary election[edit]

A primary election is an election in which voters select the candidate they believe should appear on the general election ballot. Primaries usually take place several months before a general election. Washington utilizes a top-two primary, in which a single primary election is held for each office wherein all candidates running for that office, regardless of party affiliation, compete in the same election. The two candidates receiving the most votes move on to the general election; all voters may vote in the primary for any candidate. In this type of primary, it is possible for both candidates in the general election to belong to the same political party. The general election also mimics a runoff election in that the two candidates who compete already competed against each other in the primary election.[2][3][4]

Washington's primary elections took place on August 2, 2016. The state utilizes a mail-in ballot system, and all ballots were required to be postmarked or left in a designated dropbox by 8 p.m. on election day. Ballots were mailed to registered voters 18 days prior to the election, and preliminary results were released at 8 p.m. on election day. While some races were called by the media on election day, official results were not certified by the Washington secretary of state until 14 days after the election, which, in 2016, was on August 16.[5]

### Incumbent Jim McIntire (D)[edit]

McIntire was first elected state treasurer in 2008's open election, defeating Republican Allan Martin by about 2 percent. He won re-election in 2012 by a comfortable margin of 17 percent. Prior to his tenure as treasurer, McIntire served in the state House from 1999 to 2008. He previously ran an economics consulting practice, served on the faculty at the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Affairs, and worked as the director of UW's Fiscal Policy Center.

McIntire announced in December 2015 that he would not seek re-election to a third term in 2016. "Not campaigning during the coming year allows me to concentrate on protecting the Treasure and our credit rating, press hard for comprehensive education finance reforms and help lead the National Association of State Treasurers," he said in a press release.[6]

### Party control in Washington[edit]

Washington had a divided government entering the 2016 election. Democrats controlled the governorship and also held a two-seat majority in the state house. Republicans gained control of the state senate in the 2014 elections by a one-seat majority, which ended a seven-year Democratic trifecta. Ballotpedia identified both chambers of the state legislature as battleground chambers in the 2016 elections. Party control of state government had the potential to shift after the November elections, but did not. Democrats retained control of the governorship and the state house. Democrats also gained a one-seat majority in the state senate, but did not take control of the chamber due to a Democratic senator who decided to caucus with the Republicans. Republicans thereby maintained control of the state senate, which resulted in the continuation of the state's divided government.

Prior to the 2016 election, both of Washington's U.S. Senate seats had been occupied by Democrats since 2001, and the state's electoral votes had gone to the Democratic presidential candidate every election cycle since 1988.[7] Senator Patty Murray (D) won re-election and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton won the state's presidential electoral votes in the November general election.

Democrats had controlled the state treasurer's office since the 1930s, with the exception of a four-year period of Republican control from 1953 to 1957 after Charles Maybury won election by a margin of just 1 percent.[8] Democrats had generally been elected to the office by large margins in the years leading up to the election; however, incumbent James McIntire won the seat by about 2 percent in 2008's open election. He won re-election in 2012 by 17 percent. The last open election held prior to 2008 was in 1996, which Mike Murphy (D) won by over 10 percent.[9]

Two Republicans advanced to the general election after the August 2 primary election, ensuring that office of treasurer changed party hands in 2016 regardless of the outcome of the November general election.
