Just for the record: while I'm aware that Walkinshaw is not yet the incumbent representative for the 43rd district as of today, there appears to be a coding error in {{Infobox officeholder}} by which if I switch the "predecessor =" field to "succeeding =" (which would normally be the way to denote him as a member-elect instead of an incumbent), then the box automatically overrides "state_house =" and denotes him as a member-elect to the United States House of Representatives instead of the Washington state house. I've put in a request at Template talk:Infobox officeholder to have this looked at, but in the meantime we're stuck for at least a couple of days with an infobox that's going to be technically incorrect no matter what.
