The best ways to help are to donate, volunteer, host a meet-and-greet, request a yard sign, or introduce Chandler to your friends and neighbors in the 45th District.
Even small actions makes a difference. Local races are won through conversations, community support, and people willing to step up!
A state representative serves in the Washington State House of Representatives. Each legislative district elects two state representatives to serve two-year terms.
State representatives write and vote on laws, help pass the state budget, serve on committees, and work with constituents to solve problems involving state government.
In Olympia, they make decisions that affect housing, childcare, schools, transportation, public safety, taxes, jobs, technology, and the cost of living.
Why Chandler Torbett?
Chandler Torbett is the best choice for the 45th because of his decades of experience in technology, healthcare, law and organizational decision-making directly matches the challenges Washington must solve right now.
Chandler is the only candidate endorsed by The Seattle Times Editorial Board, which called Chandler the candidate best positioned to deliver on affordability with urgency and pragmatism, and specifically said "Torbett showed a greater affinity for what’s best in Olympia."
Chandler has real healthcare system leadership. He hasn't just advocated for healthcare; he helped run a large healthcare system. As General Counsel of a Tribal healthcare system, he managed the legal and operational complexity of delivering care to an underserved community. He knows where the system breaks down and how to fix it.
Chandler has the tech and AI expertise the Legislature needs now. As a corporate tech attorney at Amazon, Chandler understands how AI is reshaping employment, privacy, and public services. He'll draft proactive policy, not reactive catch-up legislation.
Chandler has a housing agenda built for speed. Chandler's housing platform is focused on cutting the red tape that makes housing expensive to build. More ADUs. More density near transit. Faster permitting. Measurable outcomes. Chandler is the candidate who combines progressive values with the professional experience and urgency to actually deliver.
Chandler will bring urgency to the affordability crisis, strengthen our public schools, prepare Washington for the opportunities and challenges of AI, and demand more accountability for how taxpayer dollars are spent.
Chandler will bring an independent perspective, practical problem-solving experience, and a willingness to challenge the status quo when it isn’t working. Chandler is not a "go-along-to-get-along" type guy, and he's running because this moment calls for fresh leadership focused on results.
