When reporting this sort of thing, would it be possible to mention if that state is Democrat or Republican please, not everyone outside of the US will know. I tried to look it up, but am not too sure if the state representitive in washington is the same party as in the house of representitives in the state (in this case Minesota).
If that doesn't make sense, I am not really familiar with how the US systems work. So sorry about this in advance.
