ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Democratic challenger Darcy Burner continues to raise more money than incumbent Dave Reichert in the race for Washington's 8^th Congressional District seat.

Burner raised nearly $585,000 between April 1 and June 30. Reichert received just over $347,000 for the same period, according to filings made by the campaigns to the Federal Election Commission.

The 8^th District race in the suburbs east of Seattle is one of the most closely watched in the country.

Burner is challenging Reichert again after coming within 8,000 votes of unseating him in 2006. That year, Burner was an unknown and rode a Democratic wave that unseated Republicans across the nation in the midterm elections.

In all, Burner, a former Microsoft Corp. manager, has raised more than $1.9 million in her bid to defeat Reichert, a two-term incumbent from Auburn. Reichert, a former King County sheriff, has raised $1.7 million.
