Washington State Governor Bob Ferguson has endorsed State Representative Tarra Simmons in her 2026 reelection campaign for the 23rd Legislative District. The endorsement from Washington’s highest office reflects the strength of Representative Simmons’ record in Olympia and the trust she has earned heading into this election.

State Representative Tarra Simmons and her supporters celebrated the sole endorsement of her 2026 reelection campaign by the Aerospace Machinists Union District 751 — the first endorsement IAM District 751 has made in any state legislative race this cycle. The union’s decision is a strong validation of Representative Simmons’ record fighting for affordability, community safety, and progressive reforms.
