Mari Leavitt

(Prefers Democratic Party) statement appears human

I’m proud of my bipartisan record delivering for local families and businesses. Committed to safe communities, I worked with law enforcement to secure resources and tools to keep us safe. To address the affordable housing crisis, I supported emergency housing and affordability for seniors, working people, and military families. In education, I’ve invested in affordable childcare, training, and improved K-12 outcomes. I’m a military mom and daughter, recognized as a leader in protecting those who serve and sacrifice. A longtime champion for workforce education, I’m focused on local jobs and opportunity. Let’s keep working together for the future we deserve.

(Prefers Republican Party) statement appears AI

I’ve spent my life serving patients, students, military families, and this community. I’ve seen the real-world consequences when government loses focus on the people it serves. Families are struggling with rising costs, housing affordability, public safety concerns, and declining trust in government. Small businesses and working families deserve leadership that listens, understands their challenges, and delivers practical solutions. I’m running to bring accountable, service-driven leadership to Olympia – focused on people, results, and restoring trust between government and the communities it serves, not partisan politics or political theater.
