Welcome, and thank you for visiting my legislative website. I’m honored to be a part of the state Legislature and serve the people of Southwest Washington in Olympia. In this time of political divisiveness, we need leaders who bring people together by finding common ground and real solutions.

As your state representative, I’m committed to addressing numerous issues in our state, including fixing the affordability crisis, ensuring affordable housing, increasing public safety, and improving transportation, educational outcomes, health care, and fish hatcheries. I believe in policies that help working families.

As Washougal’s mayor, I’ve witnessed firsthand our community’s challenges. Now, I’m using that experience in Olympia and working tirelessly to address these issues at the state level.

I have always prioritized public safety initiatives that bolster law enforcement resources, promote community policing efforts, and enhance emergency response capabilities. Additionally, having served our nation in the Marine Corps for decades, I understand the importance of safety, security, and unity in our communities.

Please reach out to me whenever you have any questions, ideas, or concerns. I truly want to hear from you as I work to be your voice in Olympia. My goal is to represent everyone in the 17th Legislative District, no matter which side of the political spectrum you reside on.

Thank you for your trust, and for allowing me to represent you.

Rep. David Stuebe

Providing tax relief and making life more affordable

While the majority party continues passing tax increases and punitive policies that make daily life more expensive, my colleagues and I are advocating for tax relief and policies to help alleviate financial burdens for struggling families, students, small business owners, and the most vulnerable.

Strengthening communities by making public safety a priority

Washington cannot continue ranking last in the nation for the number of police officers per capita. Improving public safety must be a top priority. I am committed to advancing policies that strengthen law enforcement staffing, support officers on the job, and ensure accountability. By focusing on both public safety and respect for those who serve, we can better protect our streets, neighborhoods, and families.

Addressing the homelessness and housing crisis with real solutions

Years of misguided land-use decisions and expensive construction regulations have created a severe housing shortage and affordability crisis, and contributed to the homelessness crisis. Washington now has the lowest number of homes per household in the country. As a result, nearly 80% of families are priced out of a median home. By 2030, Washington is on track to become the 5th most expensive state for housing, with median home prices topping $900,000. We need to address both the housing and homelessness crises with immediate action and long-term solutions.

Empowering parents in their children’s education

With ongoing challenges in our education system for a variety of reasons, it is more important than ever for parents to stay informed about what is happening in their children’s classrooms. I recognize the critical role education plays in shaping young lives. While our communities are fortunate to have many dedicated teachers, we must continue giving parents the tools and transparency they need to understand what their children are being taught and the decisions made by local school boards.
