FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

​LAKEBAY, WA — In a decisive joint vote of 7-3, the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners and the Pierce County Council announced the appointment of Deb Krishnadasan to the Washington State Senate, representing the 26th Legislative District. This transition comes following Emily Randall's recent election to the U.S. House of Representatives. 

 

Spanning Gig Harbor, the Key Peninsula, South Kitsap, and part of Bremerton, Krishnadasan's new role is critical to maintaining robust community representation. A former Peninsula School Board president and long-time community advocate, Krishnadasan promised to bring her extensive experience in public education and community service to Olympia. 

 

"The 26th District Senate seat plays a critical role in representing our residents in Olympia. I am honored to be part of this historic appointment opportunity and am grateful to all of the candidates who stepped forward to ensure that the voices of our communities will continue to be heard at the state level," said Robyn Denson, Pierce County councilmember for District 7, which includes Gig Harbor and the Key Peninsula. 

 

Echoing these sentiments, Katie Walters, chair of the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners, remarked, "Senator Krishnadasan has a proven track record of bringing people together and delivering results for her community. Her ability to build coalitions and work across political lines will be instrumental as she steps into this role." 

 

The appointment process included public comment, with several community members endorsing Krishnadasan for her leadership in passing the Peninsula School District bond in 2019, in addition to 16 years of dedicated service to the area. 

 

Krishnadasan's priorities when the 2025 legislature convenes next month include public education, transportation infrastructure, housing, and childcare costs.

 

Her appointment will last until a special election is held in 2025.
