Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Keith Swank (R)

Crime is at an all-time high. Democrat policies have brought this upon us. I will be a strong advocate for public safety, and I will work with our state partners to keep our communities safe.

Inflation is at an all-time high. The government tells us that inflation is 8.2% while everything we buy is up more than that. I will work to stop the out-of-control spending, and I will work for energy independence.

Last year over 107,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. Much of that was fentanyl, manufactured in China and shipped across our southern border. I will work for a physical wall on our southern border to stop the drug trade, and human trafficking flowing across our border. .

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Keith Swank (R)

Public Safety, economy, border security.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Keith Swank (R)

I look up to Jesus, and I try to be more like him. I fall short, but I am a work in progress.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Keith Swank (R)

I like to read books that show what our Founders meant (original intent) when they wrote the Constitution.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Keith Swank (R)

Honesty, and integrity

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Keith Swank (R)

Ethical, honesty, integrity

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Keith Swank (R)

To make sure that the federal government is kept within the confines of the Constitution.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Keith Swank (R)

I would like to leave this country in better shape than I inherited it.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Keith Swank (R)

President Nixon was impeached. I was about 6 years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Keith Swank (R)

My first job was at a gas station. I was a cashier and full-service attendant. I had it for about a year and a half until I joined the Army.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Keith Swank (R)

The U.S. House contains the purse strings, and the members need to close the purse.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Keith Swank (R)

I believe that it is beneficial for representatives to have common sense and understand the Constitution. I do not think it needs to be complicated. I think incumbents try to make it complicated to scare off "regular" people from running for office, but the Founders exactly wanted "regular" people to run for office.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Keith Swank (R)

Our debt will be the greatest challenge over the next decade. If we do not get a handle on the out-of-control government spending, inflation will continue to rise, and our necessities will be too expensive to purchase.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Keith Swank (R)

Armed Services, Homeland Security, oversight and reform

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Keith Swank (R)

Yes, Representatives need to be responsive to voters, and this is the best way.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Keith Swank (R)

I am for term limits. I do not think our founders wanted anyone to be career politicians. Career politicians are out of touch with voters, and they do not have the same experiences.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Keith Swank (R)

I hear over and over again that people receive a generic form letter when they ask a question of the current representative. The letter does not even cover the question asked. That will end when I am elected. We will actually help people and answer questions.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Keith Swank (R)

Democrats will not compromise. It's unfortunate, but they will not. Their idea of compromise is for Republicans to come to the Democrat side. The Democrat party is radical, and the American people are seeing that in action.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Keith Swank (R)

I will work for single item bills. 2,000 plus page bills that cannot be read are unacceptable.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Washington in 2022. Information below was calculated on July 18, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Sixty-eight candidates filed to run in Washington's 10 U.S. House districts, including 37 Republicans, 19 Democrats, seven independents and five third-party candidates. That's 6.8 candidates per district, fewer than the 7.3 candidates in 2020, and more than the 4.9 candidates per district in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Washington was apportioned ten districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. All ten incumbents filed to run for re-election, meaning there were no open U.S. House seats for the first time in a decade.

There were ten contested primaries, the same number as in 2020 and two fewer than in 2018, when there were eight contested primaries. All ten incumbents who filed to run for re-election faced primary challengers. In 2020, all nine incumbents who filed for re-election faced primary challengers. In 2018, seven of the nine who filed did.

In Washington's top-two primary system, all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation. Two incumbents — Rep. Suzan DelBene (D) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D) — did not face intra-party primary challengers. DelBene represented the 1st district, and Jayapal represented the 7th.

Eleven candidates filed to run in the 8th district, the most candidates who filed to run for a seat this year. Three Democrats, including incumbent Kim Schrier (D), five Republicans, one independent, one Libertarian, and one Concordia Party candidate filed to run.

At the time of the primary, no districts were guaranteed to either party. Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in the primaries in all ten districts. However, under Washington's top-two primary system, two candidates from the same party can advance to the general election if they are the top two vote-getters in the primary.

Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+7. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 7 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made Washington's 10th the 154th most Democratic district nationally.
