As you may have heard today, Washington state Dem Congressional candidate Darcy Burner's home was destroyed in a fire. Everyone made it out safely.

Campaign spokesman Sandeep Kaushik told Election Central that the cause is believed to be faulty wiring in a lamp. "We'll just have to wait for a final determination, but the indications are that that was the cause," said Kaushik.

Kaushik also told us that Burner's dedication to her very competitive House race against incumbent Republican Dave Reichert has not been affected: "She'll take a couple days off, obviously, to deal with the issues surrounding the fire. But she'll be back on the campaign trail shortly."
