SEATTLE —
State Democratic Chairman Paul Berendt won a
sixth term Saturday in Olympia, while Republican Chris Vance was
elected for his third term in Tukwila.
Both men have been at the center of the vortex swirling around
the state governor's race as the GOP's Dean Rossi challenges
Christine Gregoire's 129-vote edge in a hand recount of the tight
race.
Berendt won 100 of the 169 votes cast. King County
Chairman Gary Rodriguez followed with 44, while Snohomish County
activist Bill Phillips had 18 and former Snohomish County
Chairwoman Kat Overman had eight.
Vance won a solid majority on the first ballot. He said the
party wasn't releasing the number of ballots cast for each
candidate.
