Incumbent Rep. Adam Smith (D) and Sarah Smith (D) advanced to the general election in Washington's 9th Congressional District top-two primary. Adam Smith was elected in 1996 and had held the 9th Congressional District seat for 11 terms. When the district was remapped in 2011, it became the state’s first with a majority of its population comprised of ethnic minorities, a shift the Seattle Times suggested could move the district to the left.[1] In 2018 he faced a challenge from Sarah Smith, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America running with endorsements from several progressive organizations.[2] Republican Doug Basler also competed in the top-two primary for the safely Democratic district.

Adam Smith was, at the time, the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee and ran with endorsements from both of Washington’s Senators, as well as the Alliance for Gun Responsibility and several labor unions.[3] He was also endorsed by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D). His opponent, Sarah Smith, is one of three candidates in Washington supported by the Justice Democrats PAC, along with Jayapal. “I’ve had challengers from the left in every election that I’ve had”, he said. “The bottom line is I’ve been out front on a ton of very important issues,” he said. “I’m the better progressive voice for this district than Sarah Smith by a wide margin.”[4]

Sarah Smith criticized the incumbent’s vote for the Iraq war and campaign contributions from the defense industry. “Adam is very comfortable with the war industry and that really shows in a lot of his votes,” she said.[4] Her campaign website describes her as “The anti-war candidate from Washington's 9th Congressional District,” and she highlights several policy positions that differentiate her from Adam Smith. "I am for single-payer medicare for all; I am for debt-free education; I am for abolishing (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)”, she said, “and I am for getting us out of, what is it, nine to 11 different military occupations we're in?"[5][2]

Basler qualified to face Adam Smith in the general elections in 2014 and 2016 and earned 29 and 27 percent of the vote, respectively.
