Adison Richards

Rep. Adison Richards is an attorney and community volunteer from South Kitsap running for reelection to the Washington House in November. As a lawyer, Adison has served survivors of crimes like domestic violence and human trafficking, and in housing law, helped struggling families keep a roof over their heads. In the state House, Adison is a voice for working families and small businesses on issues such as affordability, community safety, and health care access.

In 2024, Adison flipped his seat blue for the first time in 16 years. Now he’s ready to defend it with the support of the DLCC and help Democrats gain ground 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.
