Rep. Chipalo Street is running for the open Senate seat in the 37th Legislative District following Sen. Saldaña's retirement. He is a strong community leader who co-founded a program to bring tech education to underserved Seattle students, served as a board member of the Institute For A Democratic Future, and volunteered as a former public policy impact council member for United Way of King County. Professionally, he works as a Principal Program Manager in Microsoft’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer. In previous sessions, Street helped pass a slate of progressive bills as a secondary sponsor, including legislation to reduce barriers to early learning and childcare for working families, fund zero-emission school buses, and permit professional licensing for Washingtonians regardless of immigration documentation status. More recently, he voted for bills supporting progressive revenue, rent stabilization, AI regulations, and more. In 2025, Street was the primary sponsor of a police accountability bill that aimed to reduce racial profiling and improve traffic safety. The bill sought to restrict reasons for law enforcement to pull over motorists, re-prioritizing issues that pose significant safety threats to communities over minor maintenance infractions. Street's campaign for Senate continues to prioritize progressive values that center protections for our most vulnerable neighbors. His campaign is focused on strengthening access to reproductive healthcare, expanding tenant and renter protections, investing in education, and reducing gun violence. Since his first term in the state House, Chipalo Street has been a reliable progressive legislator who has worked to advance racial equity in the 37th Legislative District. His campaign for state Senate has earned him endorsements from many of our partners and his progressive colleagues in the Legislature. We recommend Rep. Street to continue representing the 37th Legislative District in the state Senate.
