Michael Mcgarr

Michael McGarr, a Democrat, is a candidate for the U.S. House representing Washington's 5th Congressional District in the 2026 primary election. He formally filed for the election on May 8, 2026. McGarr positions himself as a proponent of unity and bipartisan collaboration, believing that all Americans -- Democrats, Republicans and Independents -- should work together. He advocates for Congress to pass legislation that garners broad national support, rather than partisan laws that alienate half the country and will just be reversed later. Critical of conventional campaign tactics, McGarr aims to focus on substantive issues and foster cooperation among elected officials, seeking to avoid ideological divides and encourage more collaborative governance. He resides in Spokane, Washington.
