Jenna Nand
Jenna Nand today announced her campaign on Monday for State House in the 32nd Legislative District—the seat that is being vacated by Cindy Ryu who launched a campaign to unseat state Sen. Jesse Salomon.
Currently an Edmonds City Council Member and small business attorney, Nand said her campaign is focused on ensuring equitable access to healthcare, solving our regional affordability crisis, expanding access to education, enacting real change in Olympia to end homelessness, and building climate resiliency in our communities.
“I spent 10 years as a caregiver for my terminally ill father before he passed in April of 2025 and navigated a broken social services system to save a loved one who almost lost his life due to addiction. Now, I’m battling breast cancer. Despite everything, I’ve never stopped fighting. I’ve triumphed over every challenge I’ve faced and I will keep fighting for our shared values in Olympia.”
Nand was raised in a union household in Edmonds and Shoreline by immigrant parents from the Fiji Islands. A graduate from Edmonds College and the University of Washington, Nand enters the race with a wide variety of endorsements from local leaders, including state Sen. Vandana Slatter.
