Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell KING 5 that State Senator Dino Rossi will on Thursday announce a run for the 8th Congressional District to replace Republican Dave Reichert, who is retiring at the end of his term.
Rossi is expected to make the announcement during the annual Washington State Republican Party Dinner Thursday night in Bellevue. Rossi launched his website, which confirmed his run for Congress.
A resident of Sammamish, Rossi was appointed last year to fill the vacancy left by the late State Senator Andy Hill.
Rossi himself served as an elected member of the Washington state senate from 1997 to 2003, where he chaired the powerful Ways and Means Committee.
He is also known as a former statewide candidate who narrowly lost the closest gubernatorial race in U.S. history.
