BADGER FORUM THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 | 12 Noon
After 36-years as Benton County’s Prosecuting Attorney, Andy Miller announced his retirement earlier this year instead of seeking reelection for a tenth term. Miller is widely respected as the most senior prosecutor in Washington state, having served longer than any other sitting prosecutor. He has also occupied a unique place as the sole Democrat to hold a partisan elected office in our region for some time and has managed not to draw a challenger during his past seven terms.
And so, for the first time in nearly three decades, Benton County voters won’t have a Democratic party candidate on their ballot for Prosecuting Attorney. Instead, two Republicans are now vying to win the seat— Eric Eisinger, senior partner with the Richland law firm Walker Heye, PLLC, and Ryan Lukson, Benton County Assistant Chief Deputy Prosecutor. Both men were on the Primary ballot with Eisinger emerging nearly 5 points ahead of Lukson.
