Serving you in the Washington State Senate!
Welcome to my webpage! I’m Chris Gildon, your senator from Washington’s 25th Legislative District.
We live in one of the loveliest parts of the state, in the shadow of Mount Rainier, where we enjoy big-city amenities and suburban living. I am proud to call it home, and I am honored to represent you in Olympia.
As Senate Republican leader on the state operating budget, I am involved in the Legislature’s biggest debates. Top issues include increasing public safety, making Washington an affordable place to live, and ensuring the health, welfare and high-quality education of our children. By building consensus within the Legislature, and putting people before politics, we can get the job done.
On this page, you will find news and information about our activities in the Legislature. Please take a moment to sign up for my e-newsletter, which provides regular updates from Olympia. I hope you will stay in touch. If you have a comment or concern about state government, or you need assistance dealing with a state agency, please call my office at (360) 786-7648, or use the contact form below to send an email to me and my legislative assistant, Caylin Jensen. Our most important duty is to serve you!
