My Priorities for the 39th District and Washington State

We need to be honest and admit what most people already know: Olympia isn’t meeting basic standards for a functional state government. Public safety, public schools, our public roadways, and most core functions of state government are falling behind or even failing—while taxes have never been higher.

It’s time to act.

It’s time to send Steve Ewing to Olympia to help return our state to normal.

Normal means:

Public schools that focus on teaching. Right now, even states like Mississippi are doing a better job of teaching children—especially at-risk children—how to read.

Public safety. Experiments that started in Seattle with unreasonable limits on police are now being pushed statewide, and all of us are suffering from this extremism.

Public road ways that actually work, so we don’t waste hundreds of hours of our lives stuck in traffic.

Taxes that are spent wisely and kept low. One observer put it well: Olympia is charging us European-level taxes while delivering third-world services.

Normal used to be what both political parties could agree on. Today, it means going to Olympia to fight for what’s right.

Meet Steve Ewing

A Washington native, Steve and his wife, Athena, have called Snohomish County home since 2001, when they were drawn to the community’s excellent schools and perfect balance of natural beauty and accessibility. Their commitment to this special community has deepened as they’ve watched their five children grow up. Last August they happily welcomed a new son-in-law who proudly serves in the Army. They look forward to welcoming grandchildren soon!

Steve brings valuable professional experience to his public service, having worked for the State of Washington since 2002 in roles including Mental Health Counselor, Community Corrections Officer, and Administrative Hearings Officer. This background has equipped him with unique insight into community needs and a service-oriented approach to leadership.

Community involvement has always been central to Steve’s life. He served on the Planning Commission before serving on the Lake Stevens City Council from 2019-2025, and has been president of his 136-member Homeowners Association for more than a dozen years. His dedication extends to regular blood donation (8-gallons so far!) and church leadership roles, including a two-year mission to Milan, Italy. Since 2021, Steve has been leading an addiction recovery group alongside his wife, which has furthered his commitment to serving others, no matter their circumstances.

In his free time, Steve will always be found with his family, tending their garden, walking nearby, or hiking the magnificent mountains in and around Snohomish County. His deep connection to our natural environment informs his vision for preserving what makes our community special while planning thoughtfully for the next generation and beyond.
