Szwaja upped his September primary performance by 6 percent to chalk up 19 percent of the votes in the 7th District Congressional race against incumbent Jim McDermott, a man so entrenched in Seattle’s Democratic fortress that the Republican’s don’t even bother opposing him. Libertarian Joel Grus got 7.5 percent of the vote. McDermott prevailed easily, with 150,000 votes and 73 percent.
