“Elected Experience Appointed to the Legislature in 2015, served five and a half terms. Chosen by fellow legislators as Ranking Member House Environment and Energy Committee and as a member of the Appropriations and Capital Budget Committees.”
(WA Secretary of State 2026 General Election Voters' Pamphlet) “I continue to master the nuances of legislating, which is built upon trust in relationships with people who have different views and values but also share a common humanity. It is the willingness to listen to and be respectful enough so that our district’s concerns are respected.”
(Campaign website (marydye.com)) “Fuel and Utility price increases due to aggressive climate policies adopted on partisan votes are hurting families and businesses. Gas ban mandates on buildings will burden our taxpayers as we are forced to convert to heat pumps in our public schools and universities, agency office buildings, and many other facilities serving our communities.”
