Manweller wins re-election bid

EPHRATA — Embattled Rep. Matt Manweller, R-Cle Elum, has survived a tumultuous and controversial election season to again win the seat he has held since 2012, beating back a long list of sexual misconduct allegations, an unexpectedly strong opponent and over $100,000 in attack ads. At last count, Manweller was leading Democratic challenger Sylvia Hammond by about 28 points.
