Liz Berry, a Queen Anne mother of two and proven champion for justice and families, today announced her campaign for House Pos. 2 in Washington’s 36th Legislative District.

“Affordability issues are crushing our region and our future. Working families are struggling to pay for quality childcare and access a decent public education. And we must act now to protect our beautiful landscape from the devastating effects of climate change,” Berry said. “As a working mom, nonprofit leader, and someone who has been a champion for women in leadership my entire career, I understand the impact these issues are having on people in our community. I am a proven progressive leader who knows how to get things done. That’s why I am running for State House.”

Berry, 36, is the first person to announce her candidacy after State Rep. Gael Tarleton, D-Seattle, announced last month she is running for Secretary of State.

“Gael is the person we need right now to protect our election security. Her leadership in this state and region has been immense. I am so grateful to know her and work with her over the years,” Berry said.
