In the Third Congressional District race, incumbent Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler is facing challenger Jim Meuller, a Democrat who currently serves as the state representative for the 49th Legislative District.

Candidates running for 18th District state representative positions include incumbent Liz Pike (R-Camas) and Democrat Kathy Gillespie of Vancouver, and incumbent Brandon Vick (R-Felida) and Democrat Justin Oberg of Salmon Creek. For state senate, incumbent Ann Rivers (R-La Center) is pitted against Democrat Eric Holt of Hockinson.

For Clark County Council, voters in Camas and Washougal will vote for District 4. Candidates include Roman Battan, Democrat, of Camas and Eileen Quiring, Republican, of Vancouver.

The first round of results, which will be posted on the Post-Record’s website at www.camaspostrecord.com, are expected to be released at approximately 8:30 p.m.

Ballots were mailed to voters on Oct. 19. The election results will be certified on Nov. 29.
