Chris Stearns

(Prefers Democratic Party) statement likely AI

As your Representative, I’ve worked to deliver real results for working families–expanding affordable housing, strengthening worker protections, improving behavioral health services, and defending civil rights. As a Navajo attorney, I’ve spent my career standing up for justice and speaking up for communities left out of decision-making. I’ll continue fighting for strong schools, safer communities, and an economy where every family has the opportunity to succeed. Endorsed: Auburn Mayor Backus, Kent Mayor Ralph, Covington Mayor Smith; Congressmember Adam Smith; Governor Bob Ferguson; 47th LD Democrats; WA State Nurses Association; Aerospace Machinists 751; WA Conservation Action; WA State Labor Council and more!

Ted Cooke

(Prefers Republican Party) statement likely AI

Democrats made Washington unaffordable. I have a plan to fix it. I’ll freeze all new taxes and eliminate existing taxes on income, property, and fuel. I’ll order audits of every state office and program and cut waste. I’ll end unaccountable public-private partnerships and legislative commissions. I’ll prioritize starter homes with yards over high-density apartments forced on us by Olympia. I’ll replace DEI with merit in government hiring, restore full parental rights in education, and uphold the biological definition of gender. Public safety and a classical American education come first. Kent, Auburn, Covington, and Maple Valley deserve better. I’ll deliver it.
