Washington Secretary of State election, 2012
The Washington secretary of state election took place on November 6, 2012 following a primary on August 7, 2012. Election day polling hours are from 7 am until 8 pm.
General election candidates:
Kathleen Drew (D)
Kim Wyman (R)
Washington has a top-two primary system, in which the top two vote-getters, regardless of party, go on to the general election.[1] Wyman and Drew received the first and second highest number of votes, respectively, in the August 7 primary election, and the two squared off in the general election on November 6, 2012.[2] Wyman was declared the winner on November 10, 2012 when Drew conceded the race, which had been very tight. Wyman's victory marked the 100 year anniversary of Washington electing its first Republican woman to a statewide position; she was also the only Republican running for Washington state office in 2012 to win the election.[3]

Race background
Kim Wyman began her campaign in June, 2011, well in advance of the May filing date for Washington. The Thurston County Auditor (2001-present) was the first to enter the race after current secretary Sam Reed, fellow moderate Republican and longtime officeholder, announced he would be retiring after this term.[4] Wyman oversaw many successful elections in her 20 years auditing, including a stint auditing under Secretary Reed.[5] Wyman had said that she would be behind any legislation to increase voter-ID requirements.[5]
On the Democratic end, three hopefuls submitted their nominating petitions with the secretary of state before the filing window closed on May 14:
Former state Senator Kathleen Drew (D) announced her candidacy on November 14, 2011. Her husband, Steve Drew, is the Assessor for Thurston County, where Wyman, her general opponent,[2] was serving as Auditor at the time of the election. As laid out on her campaign website, Drew's campaign platform was to "ensure impartial and fair elections, streamline services, and increase community and civic engagement."[6] She boasted "over 25 years experience as a results-oriented, effective public service manager for the people of Washington State."[6] Drew, who was serving as adviser for Gov. Christine Gregoire(D), said she wanted to increase voter registration and "oppose efforts to suppress or discourage any groups or individuals from voting."[7]
Senator Jim Kastama of Puyallup has served as a State Sen. since 2001. Previously, Kastama spent 4 years in the Washington House of Representatives. Capitalizing on his resume as a legislator, Kastama spent months on the campaign trail before the primary, talking to voters about his plan to apply "the same practicality, ingenuity, and boldness that has defined my sixteen years in the State Legislature," to the job of secretary of state.[8] He had cited raising voter confidence and youth registration as priorities for the office, as well as modernizing the office through new technologies.[8]
Former Mayor of Seattle Greg Nickels also sought a place on the general election ballot. The once popular mayor said he was ready to return to public office. He believes that Washington needs its Secretary of State "to be strong voice for transparency, who advocates for keeping the citizens initiative process a tool for citizens," and limited the influence of corporations and special interests. In that vein, Nickels called for tighter limits on political contributions by corporations. As mayor, Nickels was referred to as the "Pied Piper" for his work establishing and an organization dedicated to climate protection, to which he recruited 1,000 mayors from across the nation; his efforts earned him the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Protection Award in 2006.[9]
Since the office is fundamentally responsible for managing elections, all of the primary candidates campaigned heavily how they could improve Washington's voting system. There was support among the entire group for trading in the state's current paper based system, wherein data is entered by hand, for a more efficient and accurate electronic system.
Also vying for the open seat were two third party candidates - Sam Wright of the Human Rights Party, and Karen Murray of the Constitution Party - and one candidate with no declared party preference, David J. Anderston, filed for the secretary of state election this year.[10]
