Renee Hernandez Greenfield

Renee Hernandez Greenfield is an expert in early childhood education, tribal child welfare, and family services running this fall to flip a seat in the Washington House. Renee has worked in various roles focused on supporting children and families and currently serves as a family speech and language trainer, providing individualized care to her patients. If elected, Renee is ready to fight for stronger public schools, sustainable climate policies, support for workers and their families, and increased affordability for all Washingtonians.

Republicans have held this seat for over a decade, and Renee is stepping up with the DLCC’s support to challenge the status quo in District 26 and help Democrats expand their majority in the Washington House.

2026 is a historic opportunity to grow Democratic power in the Washington House, where a blue supermajority is just seven seats away. 

Democrats have used their majorities in the Washington House and Senate to pass legislation to address issues including access to affordable housing, rising medical costs, and responsible gun ownership. 

The DLCC has worked closely with Washington Democrats, cycle over cycle, to steadily build a firewall against MAGA extremism. Establishing a supermajority in the Washington House is the next step towards protecting millions of Americans from Trump’s dangerous agenda.

A Democratic supermajority could refer constitutional amendments to the ballot to give voters a voice on key issues like redistricting, without Republican obstruction. Democrats have made amazing progress in Washington, but November’s elections are a watershed moment for the state. Now is the time to rally behind the most competitive candidates running in Washington this year.
