Four Candidates Vie for Washington 41st District Seats
Incumbents Janice Zahn and My-Linh Thai face challengers Elle Nguyen and Michael Rosen in the November 3 general election for Washington's 41st Legislative District.
Four candidates are competing for two state representative positions in Washington's 41st Legislative District ahead of the November 3 general election. For Position No. 1, Janice Zahn, the Democratic incumbent, is running for re-election against Republican challenger Elle Nguyen. Zahn focuses her campaign on infrastructure, affordable housing, and climate action, arguing that the state must accelerate investments in clean energy to meet 2030 goals.
Nguyen campaigns on a platform of fiscal discipline and accountability, specifically opposing House Bill 2266 and the implementation of a state income tax. She argues that the state government has been fiscally irresponsible and requires leadership that applies common sense over politics.
For Position No. 2, Democratic incumbent and Deputy Majority Leader My-Linh Thai is running against Independent candidate Michael Rosen. Thai emphasizes her record on civil rights, tax credits, and securing local funding for Mercer Island, stating that the current moment requires urgency. Rosen, an attorney and investor, campaigns on reducing the cost of living and addressing homelessness through treatment and recovery, while explicitly rejecting funding from special interests and lobbyists.
Ballots for the election will be mailed to voters on October 14.
