Rep. Roger Goodman is running for re-election to Position 1 in the 45th Legislative District, where he has served since 2007. Outside of the Legislature, Goodman is an attorney at a private practice and previously served on the board of Hopelink, a local organization that works to end poverty. In previous sessions, Goodman sponsored key legislation to keep schools and government spaces safe from gun violence, direct resources towards missing Indigenous women cases, and invest in middle housing. He believes strengthening police accountability and ensuring Washingtonians can meet their basic needs are central to building safer communities. As chair of the House Public Safety Committee, he's also passed bills aimed at improving public safety, including reforms to DUI laws and firearm background checks. More recently, Goodman voted to support rent stabilization, ban the manufacture and sale of ghost guns, and require the state to promote a safe and supportive public education system. Roger Goodman continues to be a reliable progressive in the Legislature, using his position to advance education policies, public safety measures, and affordable housing options. We recommend voting for him to serve another term in the 45th Legislative District, Position 1.
