A former anchor for Seattle’s KIRO TV News, Hutchison later led the charitable arts and science foundation established by Microsoft’s Charles Simonyi for a decade and most recently chaired the Washington State Republican Party.
She stepped down last year and soon threw her hat in the crowded ring for the Senate. She lives in Seattle.
She and the incumbent Democrat, Maria Cantwell, were the top finishers in August and face off in November....
Hutchison said Wednesday she will campaign heavily in Eastern Washington.
She said she’s following the lead of Kim Wyman, a fellow Republican who was re-elected Secretary of State in 2016, when she won 55 percent of the statewide ballot and carried all but three counties.
Women Republicans can win statewide races, she said.
Hutchison said she would be an advocate for Hanford and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, operated by Battelle for the Department of Energy.
Noting her background running the Simony foundation, she said she’s interested in data and science.
“I am one who really believes in the role of the federal government for research,” she said.
As smoke from forest fires chokes the Northwest, Hutchison is casting herself as an advocate for new forest management policies that emphasize forest health, including sustainable forestry.
“There’s really no question that better forest management would alleviate these catastrophic forest fires,” she said.
