Neither. There are primary and general elections. All the Democrats who want to be in Congress from your district will compete in the Democratic primary; all the Republicans will do likewise.

In Washington state, the top two vote-getters from the primary election will run in the general. This means that in some parts of Washington state, like the Columbia Basin where there are almost no Democrats, two Republicans could be on the general election ballot.
