Legislative District 26 - State Senator · Pierce County

I stepped into public service to focus on the real issues people face. Whether it’s fixing our roads, creating jobs, or lowering costs, I’m committed to delivering for you. Every bill I passed was bipartisan and focused on making lives better. As State Senator, I expanded the Property Tax Relief Program for fixed-income seniors and disabled veterans, established an energy assistance program, and increased support for local healthcare and childcare programs. My first experience in local politics was leading the effort to rebuild schools, delivering six new schools after decades of failed attempts. That experience showed me that when we listen and work toward commonsense solutions, together we can accomplish big things. I bring that same commitment to Olympia every day as your State Senator. I secured funding for the 26th District’s transportation infrastructure, food banks, jobs, and other priorities. I voted against a gas tax increase and taxes on small businesses. I proposed the first sales tax cut in Washington in 40 years. We need leaders who listen, have integrity, and deliver results. That’s what I’ve done, and with your support, I’ll keep doing it. Endorsements: Congresswoman Emily Randall, Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates, teachers, union workers, and more.

Maybe you’d agree that helping others, when we can, is something we should all try to do? That belief in service and putting people above politics is what brings our community together. But it takes humility and discipline to truly serve people. It means genuinely listening, saying no to outside special interests, and remembering who you work for. I’m that person. That’s why it’s so frustrating to see our incumbent spend her time working for Seattle while communities like ours feel forgotten. I want to serve our seniors by protecting access to affordable care and making sure they are not taxed out of their homes. I want to serve our working families so they can afford to put gas in the car, food on the table, and provide for their children. I’ve spent years as a corporate technology executive leading multi-national teams, and today I run a local business employing people and serving our community. Through all of it, one Truth has stayed consistent: if you want to serve people well, you have to genuinely care about them. I care about you, our community, and am willing to serve, if you’ll have me. If so, Vote for Gary Parker!
