Joe Timmons

Rep. Joe Timmons is a dedicated public servant from Bellingham running for reelection to the Washington House in November. Watching his parents build a company and create good-paying jobs showed Joe at a young age what it means to invest in a community and create opportunities for working families. He’s a fighter for working families, and as a legislator, Joe has championed bills to increase public health and safety, expand access to affordable housing and health care, and help create economic opportunities for all Washingtonians.

District 42 is extremely competitive this year, and with the DLCC’s support, Joe is ready to defend his seat and help Democrats strengthen 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.
