Education policy a top issue in House race
MILL CREEK — In the 44th Legislative District, incumbent Democrat Rep. April Berg is facing off against a Republican challenger, Sam Sim.
The 44th District includes the cities of Mill Creek and Snohomish, as well as parts of south Everett, Monroe and Bothell. All of the elected legislators in the district are Democrats.
Berg, 50, was first elected to the seat in 2020. Sim, 52, had never run for office before. In the August primary, Berg and Sim were the only two candidates. Berg won by nearly 20%.
Berg hopes to continue her time in office focusing on increasing public education funding and raising dedicated funding for affordable housing.
