1983 United States Senate special election in Washington
County resultsEvans: 50–60% 60–70%Lowry: 50–60%
The 1983 United States Senate special election in Washington was a special election to fill the seat which had been held by longtime Senator Henry Jackson , who unexpectedly died on September 1.[1] Three-term former governor Dan Evans was appointed by Governor John Spellman on September 8,[2] [3] and he won the special election over congressman Mike Lowry on November 8.[4] Jackson had won a sixth term the previous year , so more than five years remained in the term.
The legislature ordered a primary election on October 11;[5] it featured 33 candidates (19 Democrats , 13 Republicans , and one Socialist Labor ),[6] [7] Washington U.S. Senate election.[8]
As of 2024, this was the last time King County voted for a Republican U.S. Senate candidate. This was the first time since 1923 that Republicans held both Senate seats in the state.
