Ley will be a member of three House committees as he begins his first term in the Legislature
Republican Rep. John Ley was officially sworn into office as a member of the Washington State House of Representatives Monday to serve the 18th Legislative District. He joins 20 new members of the House in the 69th Legislature.
“I am honored to serve the people of the 18th District,” said Ley, R-Vancouver. “These are challenging times for far too many families in Washington. Our state is rapidly becoming unaffordable for far too many hard-working citizens.
“We need to create real solutions to fix what’s wrong in our state. We cannot continue relying on unsuccessful policies and programs that are hurting the people of Washington. I look forward to working with my fellow lawmakers to find real solutions that help everyone.”
Ley will be a member of three House committees as he begins his first term in the Legislature. He has been appointed to serve on the Environment and Energy Committee, the Postsecondary Education and Workforce Committee and the Transportation Committee.
“I’m grateful to the people of Southwest Washington for trusting me and allowing me to be their voice in Olympia. I will do my best to represent their needs and priorities,” said Ley. “I want every individual and family in our great state to be successful.”
The 18th District covers several areas in Southwest Washington, including parts of Battle Ground, Salmon Creek, Brush Prairie, Felida, and Orchards.
The 2025 legislative session began Jan. 13 and is scheduled to last for 105 consecutive days.
