(The Center Square) - As Central Washington voters begin filling out primary ballots as soon as this weekend, some may be a bit confused about who President Donald Trump actually endorsed in the District 4 contest to be U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse's successor in Congress.
Ballots were mailed out this week and are arriving in mailboxes soon, if not already received.
