“I’m running to bring new leadership to the 45th Legislative district and leverage my background in Olympia to fight for statewide progress for our kids, our climate, and our communities. I believe our district deserves leaders who are deeply connected to the issues that matter to our residents and I will provide the bold action needed to support the rights and urgent needs of our community in this critical time.”
-Vanessa Kritzer
