Friends and family,

I officially filed to run for State Senate in the 35th District.

Since 2021, I have served as a Thurston County Commissioner, and also serve as Vice Chair of the Board of Health.  In these roles, I have worked closely with families, workers, small businesses, service providers, and community members across our region. I have also seen where too many people are being left behind, especially those in underserved communities who are working hard but still struggling to afford housing, access services, and stay healthy.

My priorities are clear: lowering costs for working families, expanding access to affordable housing, improving access to public services, and strengthening community health.

Our district needs leaders who will fight for the people who are struggling most, listen to the needs of every community, and make decisions with the future of our children in mind. As your State Senator, I will use my voice to elevate the issues that matter most to you and work every day to deliver results.

I am honored to have leaders I trust and admire standing with me in this race. My plan for the 35th legislative district has earned me the endorsement of Tye Menser, Thurston County Commissioner District 3; Wayne Fournier, Thurston County Commissioner District 4; and Dontae Payne, Olympia City Councilmember.

Thank you for being my community, and believing in what our community can become. I look forward to working alongside you in this fight for our future!

Sincerely,

Carolina Mejia
