Julio Cortes

(Prefers Democratic Party) statement likely AI

As your Representative for the 38th District, I’ve spent four years delivering real results for working families and our communities, expanding affordable housing opportunities, standardizing juvenile diversion programs, strengthening wage theft protections for workers and much more. My career has always centered on service, from preventing youth homelessness to improving Everett’s economic vitality, and I bring that lived experience to every bill I champion. I’ll keep fighting for community safety, reproductive rights, working families and economic opportunity for all. Proudly endorsed by Governor Ferguson, Congressman Rick Larsen, WA State Labor Council, Nurses, Teachers, 38th LD Democrats, Planned Parenthood, and more!

Thomas (Jeff) Kelly

(Prefers Cascade Party) statement appears AI

As an Army Combat Medic, Registered Nurse, Everett Delta Neighborhood Association Chair, and Family Readiness Group leader, I’ve served where results matter. I’m running to bring accountability and leadership to Olympia. I’ll prioritize supporting local industries, lowering taxes, and funding police and behavioral health services to improve public safety. My goal is to help people build self-sufficient lives with accountability and support. Services should heal, not enable, through clear expectations, real treatment, and incentives. I’ll embrace collaboration and deliver results for families. I will always serve our communities, fighting for solutions that boost affordability, opportunity, and safety in District 38.
