Edgar Brankers

Edgar Hazard Brankers (born April 19, 1962) is an American politician currently serving as the junior Senator from Washington State.
Widely known as a conservative Democrat, Brankers would win election in a unique test-case three-way race for Senate in 2016 over Progressive Lyla Beatrice and Republican Trevor Mills after having been endorsed by a number of Republicans, including Senate Majority Whip María Antonieta Arroyo Villanueva de Peña, South Carolina Governor Thaddeus Stevens, and then-nominee Calvin Reed, after pledges by Mills to refund and "defend" Planned Parenthood.
Brankers introduced the Balanced Budget Amendment shortly into his first term in office.
