Incumbent James Kennedy is running unopposed for re-election to serve in the Jefferson County prosecutor’s office. In Jefferson County, like in a handful of other counties in the state, the elected county prosecutor is also responsible for serving as the county’s coroner. Kennedy has served in this dual role since 2018 and worked as a deputy prosecuting attorney for Yakima, Jefferson, and Clallam counties before that.
In office, Kennedy has focused on delivering reliable leadership and quality legal services. His priorities continue to be providing support and agency for crime victims, expanding care services for mental health and addiction, and working alongside law enforcement on accountability.

Advisory Vote 39
This spring, Democrats in Olympia passed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5974, which included a small increase in aircraft fuel taxes. This change would raise an estimated $14 million in public revenue and help our state achieve its climate goals.
This bill was sponsored by some of Washington’s most progressive lawmakers and passed with a clear majority in the session. The legislation will help our state create a sustainable future where generations can thrive with clean air and water.
Vote “Maintained” on State Advisory Vote 39.
Because of a Tim Eyman initiative, the Legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a non-binding advisory vote. The Legislature had a historically productive 2022 session, resulting in several advisory votes appearing on the ballot. We hope the Legislature will change the law to remove these meaningless measures in the future.
