WR’s Government Affairs team recently attended the campaign kickoff event for Representatives Osman Salahuddin (D-48) and Janice Zahn (D-41), both who are running in the November 2025 special election to retain their seats in the Washington State Legislature. Both lawmakers were appointed earlier this session following the promotion of their predecessors.
Rep. Salahuddin, a Redmond native and former city councilmember, was appointed in January to replace Vandana Slatter, who moved to the State Senate.
Rep. Zahn was appointed to the 41st District seat after Tana Senn became Secretary of the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Rep. Zahn previously served on the Bellevue City Council and as the Chief Engineer at the Port of Seattle.
Both representatives, in addition to other lawmakers appointed to the legislature, are actively campaigning ahead of the August 5 primary and November 4 general election.
WR will continue to provide campaign updates. To get involved in the WR PAC and endorsement process, please reach out to Crystal Leatherman, Director of Local & State Government Affairs ([email protected] | 360-884-0771)
