Edmonds City Councilmember Will Chen has announced his campaign for State Representative in Washington’s 32nd Legislative District—entering the race with a focus on affordability, opportunity, public safety, and practical, fiscally responsible leadership.
“Families and small businesses across our district are under real pressure,” Chen said. “Too often, policies are debated without a clear understanding of how they impact real people. I’m running to bring practical, financially responsible leadership that focuses on solutions—not slogans.”
The 32nd Legislative District spanning communities in both Snohomish and King counties.
Chen also believes that state leadership matters more than ever as immigrant families and communities face renewed attacks and uncertainty driven by rhetoric and policies coming from the Trump administration.
Chen was first elected to the Edmonds City Council in 2021. Prior to that, he served on the Edmonds Citizens Housing Commission and he co-founded the Asian Service Center, a South Snohomish County nonprofit focused on connecting underserved communities with information and resources.
