The Washington state legislature is on track to maintain its 6-member caucus of openly LGBT lawmakers after Laurie Jinkins (pictured) advanced in her primary last night. The Tacoma-area candidate could become Washington’s only openly lesbian lawmaker if she wins the general election this November to represent District 27 in the State House.

Also in Washington, State Sen. Joe McDermott garnered almost 60% of the vote in his primary race for a seat on the King County Council. State Sen. Ed Murray and State Reps. Marko Llias, Jim Moeller, Dave Upthegrove and Jamie Pedersen also advanced in their reelection bids.

In Wyoming, State Rep. Cathy Connolly was unopposed in her primary race.

Some 50 openly LGBT candidates endorsed by the Victory Fund face primary races between now and the general election in November. Stay tuned to Gay Politics for updates about key races as we head toward Election Day 2010.

I hope these candidates for Wastington State win the general election as well. I will certainly vote for the ones in my district in November.
