  • Derek Young is a four-term Gig Harbor City Council member and small business owner. He wants to improve the county’s mental health and public safety services and has been an advocate for women’s health and reproductive rights. He emphasizes conservation efforts for the region, having tripled the size of the Gig Harbor's parks and open spaces while on the City Council. As a Board Member for Pierce Transit, Young fought to minimize cuts to public transportation options for Pierce County citizens.

    Young is challenging conservative Stanley Flemming, who was first elected in 2010. Flemming recently moved to Gig Harbor to run for re-election after redistricting placed his house in University Place into a different district. In 2012, Flemming ran against Denny Heck for the U.S. House of Representatives and lost badly after campaigning on a platform of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Flemming’s congressional campaign also struggled with allegations of financial improprieties after taking out a large, legally questionable loan from a company in California. Derek Young is the clear choice in this race.
