Meet the new faces of the 2025 legislative session

A list from the “Washington State Standard” gives some of the new faces in the Washington state Legislature:

The upcoming legislative session will see high levels of turnover among Washington state lawmakers. 

Following the retirements of longtime legislators, a few redistricting switch-ups, and some departures for higher office, there will be new faces in 29 seats. 

Some are familiar, as many new senators are former House members. Some are returning after a term or two off. Others are completely new to the process. https://washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/01/02/meet-the-new-faces-of-the-2025-legislative-session/

Replacements for Senator Joe Nguyen, 34th District, and Rep Tana Senn, 41st District, are yet to be announced. Their new positions are effective January 15.
