Rep. Kelly Chambers, 25th District

Welcome to my website! I encourage you take a look around to learn more about me and how I'm serving our communities in the 25th Legislative District.

As a lifelong resident of Pierce County, it is humbling to have the opportunity to serve as your state representative. One of my top legislative priorities is strengthening Washington state's education system so every child has the opportunity to receive a quality education. The teachers I had growing up always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and are a big reason why I was able to become the first member of my family to go to college, start a business, and now serve in office.

I am also committed to crafting legislation that creates jobs and eases the burden on small business owners in our district and around the state. Additionally, I will be fighting for lower property taxes and working toward creative solutions to reduce congestion in the 25th and across Western Washington.

I am here to serve you year-round, so please feel free to contact me anytime with your comments, questions or concerns. I also encourage you to contact my legislative assistant, Dianna Hawkins, to set up a time to meet with me at my Olympia office or in district.

It is an honor to serve you.

My Priorities

Providing tax relief and making life more affordable

With a $15 billion budget surplus in 2022, the majority party opted against providing meaningful tax relief to struggling families facing skyrocketing inflation and high gas prices. State lawmakers entered the 2023 legislative session with another budget surplus, but Democrats again signaled they were not interested in providing broad-based tax relief. House Republicans believe tax relief can – and should – be provided to Washingtonians to help make life more affordable. We introduced legislation to reduce property taxes, lower the state sales tax rate, and expand the Working Families Tax Credit.

Strengthening communities by making public safety a priority

Crime is on the rise and our state continues to rank last in the nation in terms of the number of police officers per thousand people. It is time for all state lawmakers to get serious about public safety. While the Legislature did fix some of the misguided “police reform” bills from 2021, more work remains to be done -- including the vehicular pursuit issue. In a news conference I participated in on February 7, Republicans called on Democrats to pass bipartisan House Bill 1363 which would restore the initial threshold to begin a vehicle pursuit to reasonable suspicion. We should make it crystal clear that we support our men and women in law enforcement as they put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. House Republicans will continue to do just that.

Empowering parents by providing transparency and flexibility to help their children succeed in school and in life

Parents are the most important and influential people in a child's life. It's always been that way. As a mom who is also a state lawmaker, I often find myself thinking about ways the Legislature can empower parents to help their children succeed. By passing policies to help them become more informed and involved, especially when it comes to education, we can positively impact student achievement and set more families up for success.

Holding state government accountable

House Republicans have worked to pass emergency powers reform because we believe it is inconsistent with the design of our state constitution and representative government to allow one person to unilaterally rule the state for months on end. Unfortunately, Democrats have not allowed legislation to move forward. It is imperative that we restore the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches. We also must pass solutions to fix the growing number of problems in state government.
