Clyde Shavers is running for re-election as state representative for the 10th Legislative District in Position 1. He is a U.S. Navy veteran who previously served as a public affairs officer and now works as a reserve officer.

In his first term, Rep. Shavers focused on several of the big issues he campaigned on, including addressing the housing crisis and prioritizing environmental sustainability. He was the prime sponsor for a successful bill that loosened limits on food bank funding for necessary items like diapers and menstrual products. Shavers also sponsored bills to expand hydrogen and fusion power to reduce our reliance on dirty fossil fuels.

Shavers is a member of the Capital Budget committee and states that he's proud to have supported a budget that funds clean drinking water infrastructure in Island County, the Camano Lutheran Childcare Center, and housing services for people with developmental disabilities.

We were disappointed to see Shavers vote against some key progressive policies more recently, such as the Millionaires Tax and the Capital Gains Tax, both of which aimed to fix our regressive tax structure and ensure the wealthy pay what they owe. We were also disappointed to see his vote against a bill that would increase eligibility standards for sheriffs and police leadership.

Although Clyde Shavers has cast some unfavorable votes, he is generally a reliable legislator who supports progressive policies. He is the best choice in this race and has earned your vote to serve another term representing the 10th Legislative District.
