Katie Young is challenging Rep. Drew Stokesbary for the 31st Legislative District, House Position 1. Young has worked as a director and stage manager for a decade and holds leadership roles in the Actors' Equity Association.
Young is a first-time, progressive candidate with strong community experience. She is running on a platform of quality education and health care for all, and investing in the economy to create living-wage jobs. Young is committed to environmental protections and has said that "every legislative decision we make must consider the climate crisis."
Incumbent Republican Stokesbary has voted against raising the minimum wage and equal pay for women. This year, he voted against prohibiting discrimination based on citizenship or immigration status and establishing the Washington State Office of Equity. As COVID-19 cases rose in Washington state, Stokesbary joined other Republican extremists in filing a reckless lawsuit against Governor Inslee for extending the Stay-At-Home order.
With the support of many progressive organizations, Young is the best choice for Legislature in the 31st District.

Young people deserve accurate information to help them make good decisions, to protect themselves, and to protect their futures. But today, too many students don’t receive high-quality, inclusive, medically accurate education about sex and healthy relationships, putting them at risk of sexual assault, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. In particular, students of color are more likely to receive incomplete or incorrect sex education.
