A familiar face in South Kitsap elected office will challenge an incumbent for a state legislative seat this November.

Larry Seaquist of Gig Harbor, who represented the 26th state legislative district before losing his reelection bid in 2014 by Michelle Caldier, is seeking to return to elected office.

This time, however, Seaquist won’t challenge his 2014 foe. Instead, the Democrat will face off against incumbent Rep. Jesse Young, who was elected to the Position 1 seat two years ago after being appointed in January 2014 to replace incumbent Jan Angel.

Seaquist had indicated earlier this year that he would run for state superintendent of public instruction, but said he was urged by state Democratic leadership to run instead for the legislative seat.

Young also will face a primary challenge from Bill Scheidler of Port Orchard, a Republican, and Democrat Alec Matias, also of Port Orchard

Caldier, who holds the 26th District’s Position 2 seat, will be challenged by Democrat Randy Spitzer of Gig Harbor. Spitzer announced his candidacy early this year.

The challenger field for Kitsap County Commissioner District 2 seat is getting crowded. Incumbent Charlotte Garrido of Olalla, a Democrat, will face Dino Davis of Port Orchard, who also lists himself as a Democrat.

County Republican Party director Chris Tibbs also is challenging for the four-year seat. The Port Orchard resident will be joined by Roger Gay, a Port Orchard community activist.

Two candidates so far have filed to run against incumbent U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer. Mike Coverdale, who didn’t choose to run under any political party, will run against Kilmer for his District 6 seat. On the last day of filing May 20, Todd A. Bloom, a Republican, also filed.

Steven M. Nielson of Port Orchard also filed to run for the position of Commissioner of Public Lands. Nielson is running as a Libertarian.

The deadline for candidate filing is at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 20.
