The 2022 Washington State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections. Washington state voters elected state senators in 25 of the state's 49 Senate districts. The other 24 state senators were not up for re-election until the next biennial election in 2024. State senators served four-year terms in the Washington State Senate.
A top two primary election in August 2022 determined which candidates would appear on the November 6 general election ballot. Each candidate was allowed to write in their party preference so that it appeared as they desired on the ballot. [1]
Following the 2020 state senate elections, Democrats maintained control of the Senate, 28–21. [2] Senators Sharon Brown (R), [3] Reuven Carlyle (D), [4] Mona Das (D), [5] David Frockt (D), [6] Jim Honeyford (R), [7] and Tim Sheldon (D-MCC) [8] were not seeking re-election. Additionally, Senator Jeannie Darneille (D) retired early, and her seat was up for election this cycle. [9]
