My voters’ pamphlet only includes candidates for three of Washington’s ten congressional districts, so if that’s true, it must have been one of the other districts. Wouldn’t surprise me though.

It looks like that was in [Smapti’s district](https://ballotpedia.org/Washington_elections,_2020) (the 10th), and [the result](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/04/us/elections/results-washington-house-district-10-primary-election.html) seems not to have favored Mr. “Congress Sucks Party” Boyce, garnering him around 1% support. There is just not enough cynicism floating around.
