Joe Timmons

(Prefers Democratic Party) statement appears human

My family feels the impact of rising costs just like you do. That’s why as your state representative, I’ve worked hard to lower costs for seniors, improve public safety and increase access to education, housing, and healthcare. I’ve supported small businesses so they can create living wage jobs in our community. Each legislative session, I’ve helped secure millions in state funding for local projects including flood protection, community centers, and an emergency response facility. Endorsements include Washington State Labor Council; Washington Education Association; Local Firefighters IAFF 106; Lummi Nation Chairman Anthony Hillaire; Governor Bob Ferguson; Whatcom County Sheriff Donnell Tanksley.

Families are being priced out of Whatcom County. Seniors are choosing between prescriptions and groceries, and young families wonder whether they can still afford to build their future here. My family has lived here for generations, so these challenges are deeply personal. After nearly two decades in law enforcement, often sitting at kitchen tables on people’s hardest days, I have learned that people come before politics. I am running to lower living costs, strengthen public safety by addressing the behavioral health crisis, and bring accountability and transparency to state government. With your vote I’ll tackle these challenges head on.
