Endorse Diana

Item descriptionI’m proud to endorse Diana Perez in her candidacy for State Representative. Her service on the Vancouver city council has shown exactly the kind of leadership we need in Olympia—thoughtful, practical, and grounded in the real needs of our community.

During her time on the council, she has built a reputation for listening and bringing people together. Whether working on public safety, housing, or responsible budgeting, she has demonstrated a clear commitment to finding balanced solutions that serve everyone—not just a select few. She understands how local decisions affect families, small businesses, and neighborhoods because she has been on the front lines doing the work.

She will bring a strong voice for our community, a deep understanding of local issues, and a proven record of service to the legislature. I wholeheartedly support her candidacy and encourage others to do the same.

Diana is a proven, authentic leader with an unwavering dedication to ensuring every voice is heard. We need her lived experience and perspective in the legislature which is why I endorse Diana.

I endorse Diana Perez because I've tracked the voting records of our 17th LD incumbents and they alway vote against the environment. Diana will vote to protect the environment.

“I endorse Diana because I feel we need strong representation in Olympia who will support ALL people.”

“I am proud to endorse Diana Perez for the 17th Legislative District for reasons that matter deeply to me as a community member, a mom, and a Chicana. Diana’s years of involvement and work show a real commitment to the people she serves. This isn’t new for her, she has consistently shown up for her community, and that matters.
Her education, professional experience, and background in environmental issues are also incredibly important. At a time when our communities are directly impacted by environmental decisions, we need leaders who understand what’s at stake and are prepared to protect our resources for future generations. What stands out to me most is how she shows up with people. She listens. She validates. She builds relationships. That kind of leadership is not only needed, it’s essential at the state level where decisions impact so many different communities. And representation matters. For Latina girls, women, and mothers to see someone who reflects them in leadership, it matters. It shapes what feels possible. Diana is someone I am genuinely excited about and someone I trust to lead with integrity, care, and accountability.”

“I endorse Diana Perez because she is the most qualified person for this position with her education, work experience and dedication to the fair representation of all persons.”

“I endorse Diana because of her effective service in the community and I know she will do the same in Olympia.”

“I endorse Diana because she understands the needs of people who are not in the billionaire class. She understands the importance of a just and humane immigration policy. She is a nice change from career politicians.”

Diana is uniquely qualified to represent the 17th district. She brings relevant experience of the issues and challenges of the district from her professional background. She brings understanding of legislative processes and how to represent from her past elected experience. And she brings a deep appreciation of the needs of all the community that she represents from her lived experience. Diane will be a great representative of the 17th.

Diana Perez is the real deal. She is a leader who tells the truth. Honors her commitments. Stands for doing the right thing for individuals and our community. She is Smart. Articulate. Generous. Solutions-oriented. Hard working. I can't think of a better human being to represent us in Olympia!

“I am proud to endorse Diana Perez for Washington State Representative, Legislative District 17, Position 2.

Diana believes in building a brighter future together—something that deeply resonates with me as a child and victim advocate. Her commitment to creating affordability for families is not just important, it’s essential. Families across our communities deserve stability and opportunity, and Diana understands that.

Equally important, she recognizes that keeping people safe must remain a top priority—from our local neighborhoods to communities across Washington State. I am confident Diana will work tirelessly to ensure safety and well-being for all Washingtonians.

Diana is a listener, a bridge-builder, and a proven leader. Her time on City Council has shown she has the experience, dedication, and vision to represent us effectively in Olympia and beyond. Please join me in supporting Diana Perez for State Representative.”

“Diana has promised to vacate her seat on the City of Vancouver Council if elected. This level of commitment to high ethical standards clearly differentiates her from her opponent!”

“I believe that Diana will make and excellent legislator because she is a smart, compassionate women with a proven track record of serving her community. She has a lot of great leadership experience, understands the value of collaboration, and is unafraid of speaking up for what is right.”

“I am endorsing Diana Perez because she's a common sense, compassionate leader who will always put the 17th first. She will fight to lower costs, build housing, fund public education and most importantly she will represent everyone in the 17th district.”

“She is a compassionate leader who understands how to put good ideas into practice. SW Washington needs are under appreciated in Olympia, and Diana will rectify that deficiency and work for good jobs at good wages, schools that help students reach their potential, the right to get the healthcare you need when you need it, and the freedom to live in a safe, affordable, and healthy environment.”
