Jason Moon is a lifelong Snohomish County resident shaped by faith, family, and the immigrant journey. Raised in humble beginnings by Korean parents who worked tirelessly to give their children a better life, Jason learned the values of gratitude, responsibility, and service early on. As a father, husband, and community leader, he champions affordability, public safety, accountability, and protecting the character of local neighborhoods. With over 40 years in the 21st District, Jason is committed to being an engaged, accessible, and common‑sense voice for Edmonds, Mukilteo, Lynnwood, and Everett.
Many of the state’s budget challenges come from programs that lack measurable outcomes, administrative bloat that keeps dollars tied up in bureaucracy instead of frontline services, and outdated procurement practices that lead to contracts costing more than they should. Inefficiencies in our crime labs and prosecutorial offices create costly delays, allowing cases to sit unresolved while repeat offenders continue to harm communities. In homelessness and behavioral health, too many programs operate without accountability or clear progress, which makes compassion expensive without delivering results.
REPRESENTATION! We must remember that elected officials ultimately represent the people of Washington. Party values and collaboration matter, but they should never outweigh the voices of the residents we serve. When voters see leaders listening directly to their communities—rather than defaulting to partisan expectations—it strengthens trust in the system. Confidence grows when people know their concerns guide decision‑making and that their voice matters in every discussion.
One of the most effective ways to strengthen public safety is to ensure legislators have real, firsthand understanding of the work our police and fire departments do every day. Requiring each legislator to participate in ridealongs with their local fire and police agencies would provide invaluable perspective when shaping public safety policy. The most effective strategies come from leaders who have seen the challenges, pressures, and realities on the ground—not just what’s written in reports. Hands‑on experience leads to better decisions, stronger accountability, and policies that truly reflect the needs of our communities.
Washington should support local journalism because communities rely on accurate, local reporting to stay informed. Papers like the Mukilteo Beacon play a vital role by covering city decisions, school issues, and neighborhood stories that larger outlets overlook. Strengthening these local news sources—through grants, partnerships, or modernization support—helps ensure residents have access to trustworthy information. At the same time, the state should explore reasonable regulations that curb the spread of misinformation on social media and increase transparency around how platforms amplify content. Supporting reliable local journalism while promoting responsible social media practices is essential to rebuilding trust and keeping communities informed.
We need to make district boundaries easier for regular residents to identify. Right now, many people struggle to know which district they’re in because the lines are confusing and often cut through neighborhoods like a maze. Redistricting should prioritize fair representation, clear boundaries, and community cohesion so every voter can easily understand where they belong and who represents them
The greatest challenge facing our district isn’t one specific policy issue — it’s the breakdown of trust in government and the growing divide between different factions in our community. People feel unheard, overlooked, and disconnected from the decisions that shape their lives.
State government should focus on rebuilding trust by improving transparency, strengthening accountability, and creating more opportunities for genuine dialogue. When leaders bring people together across political and community divides, residents regain confidence that government is working for everyone, not just a select few.

As your State Rep I have fought for common sense gun regulations, a woman's health care choices, our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors, and affordable housing for seniors and working families.
Housing will remain my top budget priority as that is the foundation of creating safe and vibrant communities. I will continue to invest in K-12 education, public safety, and food insecurity, as we see devastating cuts to federal funding. Revenue comes from expanding our economy and creating opportunity for family wage jobs and small businesses. The more money working families can keep in their pockets, the more they will boost our economy. I will also continue to advocate for creating a more progressive tax system where those who have benefitted most from our economy pay their fair share to make the investments in education, transportation, community safety, and protecting our most vulnerable.
I am incredibly proud of the work we have done to protect our democracy in the face of ongoing threats from the federal administration. Our mail-in voting system is the most secure and most accessible in the country. We need more people voting, not fewer, so I will continue to engage young people to register to vote. I would also ask everyone who is voting, to please use the ballot drop boxes in your community. That is the safest way to make sure your ballot is counted. You can also track your ballot as well by going to www.votewa.gov.
The most effective strategy to improve community safety is multi fold. One, we need to make upstream investments in education, creating family wage jobs, and affordable housing. Giving families the foundations of security helps everyone. Second, community policing has proven over and over to be very successful. Too many police responses are for mental or behavioral health incidents. By having embedded social workers working alongside law enforcement, we can get these neighbors the help they need in the moment of crisis before they end up in a jail or emergency room. Third, we must continue to have better training for law enforcement. We have expanded law enforcement training throughout the state with regional training academies giving more people access to a career in law enforcement.
Without access to reliable journalism and information, democracies fail. I have supported legislation to invest in local independent news outlets, whether it be print (yes, I still get the paper delivered) to on-line.
Washington state has had one of the most transparent and fair redistricting processes in the country, creating a bipartisan commission to deal with shifts in population so everyone has an opportunity for representation. Unfortunately, deeply partisan and undemocratic actions in other states have created chaos in the system. Any changes that might need to be made should be done in the light of day.
Affordability is the number one issue I hear when talking to constituents. Inflation is high, the cost of housing is too often out of reach, and the cost of child care is forcing families out of the work force. Washington has , and must continue to make investments in housing and child care, often the two biggest expenses for any family. Food insecurity is also at record levels. For example, before the pandemic, the Edmonds food bank served around 500 a week. That number is now 1500 or more. These are families and seniors. I will continue to support our food banks as well as feeding kids breakfast and lunch in school. Government can't do this alone, but we can play an important role in bringing costs down.
