McMorris, then 35 years old with 10 years of state House experience behind her, ran for the seat five-term Republican Rep. George Nethercutt left open for a failed Senate bid against Patty Murray. Democratic strategists initially touted their candidate for that race, well-known Spokane developer Don Barbieri, as a strong contender.
