Stacy Willoughby

Stacy Willoughby is a banker, public servant, and nonprofit president from Lake Chelan running to flip a seat in the Washington House this fall. With 20 years of experience in financial services and hands-on leadership in her community, Stacy understands how issues like affordability affect working families. Stacy is focused on expanding access to affordable housing, ensuring tax fairness, improving child and elder care, and opening more economic opportunities by supporting small businesses and public education.

District 12 is one of the best opportunities to expand Democrats’ majority in the Washington House, and Stacy, with the DLCC’s support, is ready for a competitive race to flip this must-win seat blue.

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.
