State Representatives play a key role in shaping state policy, including environmental legislation and budget decisions that directly affect Kitsap County communities and natural resources. Incumbent Representatives Greg Nance and Tarra Simmons currently serve on legislative committees addressing issues such as natural resources, transportation, education, technology, health, and public safety. The forum will be moderated by KEC’s Martha Burke, who is also a board member for the League of Women Voters.
