'MAGA Republican' looks to unseat Everett's Larsen in Congress

EVERETT — A self-identified “MAGA Republican” is facing a longtime incumbent Democrat to represent the 2nd Congressional District.

Looking to clinch a 13th term in November, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen has doorbelled across the district to share his policy work on infrastructure, health care and the opioid crisis. The district stretches from Edmonds to the Canadian border, including parts of Snohomish County and all of Island, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom counties.

Larsen faced seven challengers in August’s primary election. He sailed to the general with 48.1% of the vote.

Of Larsen’s challengers, Cody Hart rose to the top, with 19.8% of votes. Hart describes himself as a political outsider fed up with the traditional two-party system that “hasn’t been getting things done.” To Hart, “Make America Great Again” is “the biggest” political philosophy movement in the country. He wants to see big changes in election integrity, pharmaceutical and food regulations, and mental health services for veterans.
