Dave
                  Reichert became only the third representative in
                  the 24-year history of Washington's 8th
                  Congressional District when he defeated radio
                  talk-show host Dave Ross on election day,
                  2004.
                  
                  
Reichert
                  touted himself as a somewhat moderate conservative
                  to appeal to swing voters in the largely suburban
                  district. The 8th District is dominated by the
                  heavily Republican cities of Bellevue, Mercer
                  Island and the very well-to-do "Eastside" towns of
                  Redmond (home to Microsoft Corp.), Issaquah, and
                  Woodinville. The southern part of the district
                  includes the more Democratic Party influenced
                  cities of Renton, Kent, and Auburn. The
                  southernmost part of the 8th includes the more
                  conservative Lake Tapps region and the cities of
                  Bonney Lake, Buckley, and Enumclaw.

                     became the first elected Sheriff of King County,
                     Washington in 1997 when he won election after a
                     voter initiative changing the job from a
                     position appointed by the King County Executive
                     to a nonpartisan post chosen by county voters.
                     He won with 72% of the vote. Voters re-elected
                     him in 2001.

                     the investigation of the Green River Killer.
