Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Doug White (D)

I will not tolerate the neglect of our district any longer. For decades problems such as water, immigration and infrastructure have threatened to wreak havoc on our economy. We have solutions, I will address these problems.

Our communities need immediate attention. Violence is in the increase for gang related gun violence and domestic violence is at epidemic levels. Rural areas suffer access to health care and housing is crippling working families.

Climate change needs to be addressed. Each year more of our crops are lost to water and weather instability. He have the ability to make significant changes.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Doug White (D)

The issues needing attention in my district are many. I will focus on building resiliency into our economy, and making our communities safe and healthy places. My skills will be an advantage on our foreign negotiations for trade and ensuring that they US is the center of all future deals. Healthcare is. a priority of mine. Our health insurance system is broken. I believe in affordable, accessible, no gap coverage.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Doug White (D)

I don't think this is my first historical event that I remember but it had a big impact on me. I watched the impeachment of Bill Clinton. I remember the magnitude of that censure and how the entire nation gasped. I was gutted. Now lies are easier than truths to tell and honor means little to many. Our country deserves to be put back on the path where honor, dignity, respect, discourse and working on what matters is the expected.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Doug White (D)

Moby Dick, Great writing, great story, no toxic masculinity

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Doug White (D)

My life is good, I don't need to fictionalize it.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Doug White (D)

None

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Doug White (D)

The US House of Representatives is unique in that it truly does represents the people equally. I asked an retired Representative what he thought of 2 year terms and his reply is memorable; "The Representative should be judged by the people of their district and they should have the right to pass judgement in a reasonable span of time, two years seems about right".

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Doug White (D)

I believe as citizens we have the responsibility to understand how our government was founded and how it works. We must be active in our duty as citizens. That said, I believe the people have the right to choose who deem fit to speak for them.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Doug White (D)

Re-establishing itself as a world leader. The last administration dropped us to our knees in front of the world. The Soviet Union and China played us as pawns as they advance their agendas and we retreated behind "trade wars". The world needs balance and that balance was lost in the last administration. It must be restored.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Doug White (D)

Subcommittee on trade, foreign affairs, healthcare, ag and rural.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Doug White (D)

Please see previous response.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Doug White (D)

I believe in term limits in the sense that we need new blood and ideas to survive as nation. However, I remember my father worked a long time to earn journeyman status and that was important. It showed that he was capable of doing the best job. We know that it takes time for people to become proficient at their profession and if politicians worked exclusively for the people then their expertise would be an increasing benefit. But due to our campaign finance laws sometimes a bad apple can not be removed. We should work to making elections fair so that the right candidate can and is chosen.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Doug White (D)

Unfortunately in my areas there are few that I would want to model myself after. There are several that should have got into office, but did not. I value their mentorship more.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Doug White (D)

I don't have one

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Doug White (D)

If you don't compromise you'll end up bitter and alone. The art of negotiation is managing a deal so that everyone stands to win something.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Washington in 2022. Information below was calculated on July 18, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Sixty-eight candidates filed to run in Washington's 10 U.S. House districts, including 37 Republicans, 19 Democrats, seven independents and five third-party candidates. That's 6.8 candidates per district, fewer than the 7.3 candidates in 2020, and more than the 4.9 candidates per district in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Washington was apportioned ten districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. All ten incumbents filed to run for re-election, meaning there were no open U.S. House seats for the first time in a decade.

There were ten contested primaries, the same number as in 2020 and two fewer than in 2018, when there were eight contested primaries. All ten incumbents who filed to run for re-election faced primary challengers. In 2020, all nine incumbents who filed for re-election faced primary challengers. In 2018, seven of the nine who filed did.

In Washington's top-two primary system, all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation. Two incumbents — Rep. Suzan DelBene (D) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D) — did not face intra-party primary challengers. DelBene represented the 1st district, and Jayapal represented the 7th.

Eleven candidates filed to run in the 8th district, the most candidates who filed to run for a seat this year. Three Democrats, including incumbent Kim Schrier (D), five Republicans, one independent, one Libertarian, and one Concordia Party candidate filed to run.

At the time of the primary, no districts were guaranteed to either party. Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in the primaries in all ten districts. However, under Washington's top-two primary system, two candidates from the same party can advance to the general election if they are the top two vote-getters in the primary.
