3 candidates look to unseat incumbent in 1st Legislative District

Three candidates are looking to unseat 10-year incumbent Shelley Kloba from a state House seat in the 1st Legislative District.

The 1st District encompasses parts of south Snohomish County and north King County, including Brier, Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville and Lake Forest Park.

Kloba, a Democrat, was elected to the Legislature in 2016. She faces Bothell Deputy Mayor Jenne Alderks, engineering manager Jeff Lyon and construction company owner Cliff Moon. All three challengers are from different parties, with Alderks running as a Democrat, Lyon as a Libertarian and Moon as a Republican.

In June, Lyon told The Daily Herald that he intended to suspend his campaign for personal reasons. His name will still appear on the Aug. 4 ballot.
