Krista Perez

(Prefers Democratic Party) statement appears human

As the daughter of immigrants and a mother to two young children, I see clearly the challenges we are facing. No family should have to choose between rent and putting food on the table. I’m running to bring new leadership to the 29th LD that is focused on our shared values and ensuring everyone can thrive. In Olympia, I’ll advocate for workers rights, fair taxation, reproductive freedom, and protecting immigrant communities. Endorsed: 29th LD Democrats; Washington State Labor Council; Tacoma Firefighters Local 31; City Councilmembers Bushnell, Diaz, Hines, Rumbaugh, Sadalge, Scott, and Walker; Parks Commissioner Lee, and Port Commissioner Ang.

Melanie Morgan

(Prefers Democratic Party) statement appears partly AI

For 34 years, I have called Pierce County home. I’ve fought for working families, seniors, people with disabilities, healthcare, public safety, and economic opportunity. I have supported legislation and appropriations that benefit the 29th; capped rental increases, reformed zoning laws for affordable housing, supported small business, and made public safety investments. I’m unbought and unbossed. I believe leadership requires values, judgment, and independent thinking – not political pressure or ideology. I build coalitions and make thoughtful decisions guided by the people I represent. I will continue fighting for equity, public safety, healthcare, housing, and opportunities for everyone in our district.
