Kirsten is the only endorsed Democrat running in this race with support from progressive elected officials, community leaders, and workers across the 37th LD


Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (WA-07)
"I am excited to endorse Kirsten Harris-Talley for State Representative. Kirsten has shown herself to be the bold leader the 37th LD deserves in the Washington State House throughout her nearly 20 years of community organizing, non-profit leadership, and legislative experience. From her work as an activist to end youth incarceration and her leadership on progressive revenue reform to investing in community safety, I have admired Kirsten’s dedicated service to our community."


State Senator Rebecca Saldaña LD37
"I’m thrilled to endorse our longtime neighbor and trusted community leader Kirsten Harris-Talley for State Representative here in the 37th LD. The 37th LD is the most diverse district in King County and Kirsten has always unapologetically called out and disrupted anti-blackness wherever it has been present. She has invested time, resources, and energy into anti-racist community policies and never hesitated to stand behind workers and immigrants in our fights for justice. She is a true champion for progressive change."


Seattle City Councilmember Tammy Morales D2
"I’m proud to endorse my fellow Seattle Public Schools PTA parent, Kirsten Harris-Talley for State Representative Position 2. I know firsthand Kirsten’s dedication to building community power in the South End. She was a true champion on Seattle City Council for progressive taxation, housing justice, and public safety. I know she will continue to champion the policies the 37th Legislative District needs in Olympia."


Former King County Councilmember Larry Gossett D2
"I am proud to support my fellow social justice advocate Kirsten Harris-Talley in her campaign for the 37th District State Representative. Kirsten’s experience organizing with our communities, our families, and our elders for housing equity and criminal justice reform have made this district a better place for all. She is a strong and experienced leader, and I trust that she will bring honest and accountable leadership to the position."

Kirsten is endorsed by our 37th LD Democrats, King County Democrats, and elected officials from the City of Seattle to the State Legislature
