Rep. Monica Stonier is running for re-election to House Position 2 from the 49th Legislative District. She became the first person of color to serve the district when she assumed office in 2017. Outside of the Legislature, Stonier works in Evergreen Public Schools as an instructional coach.
Stonier's primary focus has been to improve the lives of children and families. She has worked to expand financial education training in public schools, brought Dolly Parton's Imagination Libraries to Washington schools, and helped make childcare more affordable. This year, Stonier was the prime sponsor for a successful bill that will prevent book bans in schools if initiated by people who don't have a student in the district or if the sole reason is that the book's subjects are LGTBQ+ or people of color. She was also the prime sponsor of a bill this year that will ban child marriages, which were still legal in Washington, bringing the legal age of marriage up to 18. If re-elected, Stonier wants to continue to advocate for education funding, getting gig workers benefits, and more.
Stonier is running against former Republican precinct committee officer Justin Forsman. He has run for various offices roughly nine times since 2015, including for state representative and Vancouver City Council. His campaign policies usually include fighting against fluoridation, mask mandates, and 5G transmissions.
Stonier has been a progressive champion in the Legislature and has earned another term representing Legislative District 49.
